Suspension Delima

["C. Frederick" <fredie@u.washington.edu>]

Hey List,
I always come up with these questions while at work.  Tells you how
productive I am being today.  

If I remove my control arms myself. And then take them to a machine shop
to have the new control arm bushings pressed will I need to have the
front end of my 86 4kcs Q realigned?? I got a quote of 90 bucks to
repress the control arm bushings and I want to find a better deal (I was
wondering if I could do this after I had replaced my struts and not have
to get another alignment)  This has alot do with money and time before I
start school in less than two weeks.  

Also I got a reliable quote of 45 bucks labor a side to replace my struts
that I have also purchased.  This seems like a very good deal to me since
it is more cost effective than doing it myself since I do not have all the
tools and time to do it.  

If you know of any machine/suspension shops in The Seattle area that will
do the work for cheaper than mentioned above than please let me know.  If
you live in Washingon State and can do the work for cheaper or know
someone who can please let my know.

Thanks,
