Yes you can do the nylothane ones yourself. Not sure about the superpro ones. Nylothane ones are supplied with the shim style camber kits, so there is no issues related to the quality.

The rubber ones, just cut the end off with a knife and push it out the opposite end. The nylothane ones are 2 piece, so it's a sinch to put back in. Just make sure you use the grease supplied inside and out of the bush. All up, it'll take about an hour for both sides, taking it easy.

Screw type??? Lost me. Is it the type that has a nut that gets loosened off, then a turn of the bolt?

If so, why didn't the alignment bloke adjust it? Or did he adjust it and there's some other problem you've got?
What do you really want to know, as this whole post of yours is confusing.
