What comes to mind when you read "rear bushings"

I just looked at the paperwork from my wheel bearing and the shop that did it listed:

"rear bushings severly deteriorated"

What would they be referring to exactly?? The dtss bushings maybe?

most likely the dtss bushing. my horizontal ones were perfectly good looking and i didnt have any problems with them. dtss bushing was a dumb bitch though.

Could be the subframe bushings, the DTSS bushings, the A-Arm bushings...

would any of those cause an alignment to not be done?

When the bearing(s) were replaced, it would have been wise to replace the dtss bushings if they were gone. Check the rear camber links though. They have a tendency to deteriorate and cause rear camber problems.
