For anyone NOT using urethane bushings, or monoball bearings in your suspension the following excerpts from the Service Manual are important. Some warnings about not fully tightening bushings in shock eyes, wishbone pivots, swaybar end links are repeated CONSTANTLY throughout. And here are the warnings:

Remember this: depending on Gen, the cars are ballasted with at least 150-165# in each seat to adjust the frame heights relative to the lower, inner wheel lips. Once that is in-spec, ALL the other bushings are tightened from a basic assembly torque of 30-40 lb-ft up to their final spec. You can't get at all the bolts with the tires installed, but the lower wishbones have to be supported at that height. If you loosen any bolts other than the lower cam adjusters, the process should be done at any corner or end of the car you worked on. In addition to the shocks, the bushings help control compression and rebound dynamics of the chassis.
And with respect to the alignment cams, if they are pulled during disassembly, you need to start with them centered in the mounting ears with the index holes pointing up and 12 o'clock. If your frame and bushings are in good shape, your basic alignment should be pretty close right there.
FYI - all these excerpts are from the 2006 Gen 3 manual. There is a lot of similarity between Gen 1, 2 and 3 language. I suspect Gen 4 and 5 are pretty similar too.
