Quick question I have been unable to find an answer to. After replacing upper control arm bushings do you need an alignment, or is that only for lower bushings?

Yes, you should get an alignment any time you replace front suspension components.

OK, what I guess I'm really trying to ask do the upper control arm bushings have adjustments for alignment?

After a bit more searching, it appears the answer is yes.

The upper control arms is where all the adjustability is, there's none in the lower control arm. There are cam bolts on the upca's, once they are disturbed (moved, loosened, etc), you need to check alignment.
