I can vouch for suprsteve's solution linked above. Worked for me. I'm writing this the day after I did the install, so cant say right now how it'll hold up, but as of right now I saved myself $$$ and car is riding perfectly. Should I get an alignment? Took it on highway and she was dead straight.
Have to get the tires rotated anyway and I don't think I've gotten alignment in 110000, soooo...maybe I answered my own question.
