Default Rubber busing replacement

If a person replaces the rubber bushings on the suspension and/or the body mounts does that change the alignment?

Body mounts won't affect it, but if the old suspension bushings were well-worn, new bushings will definitely change the alignment.

If you attempt to have the car aligned by only replacing, I assume, the control arm bushing this will help to show up the other worn components. Your alignment will not be the best you can get. Hope this helps.
