I would really recommend solids. A large percentage of us on the forum have moved to solid RTABs and solid subframe bushings since there is no appreciable NVH penalty. For the subframe bushings not recommended unless reinforced. I had OEM RTABS with limiters prior to solids and the solids are infinitely better. I went with CMP for both.

That sounds like a steering/suspension component. If he gets an alignment first then has to fix steering components on the car he’ll be wasting/paying again for an alignment, no?
