But one more question I've had a wheel alignment done after replacing bushes if I tightened the caster bush bolt at the font of car to 148nm would that throw the wheel alignment out

No....And all the caster rod bushes I have replaced and ones I have had to undo if they are adjustable, never once have a grabbed for the torque wrench....I actually use a shifter......Never had a problem and I do alignments for a crust
