Good! SO if you are seeing no undue feathering on the fronts you are in good shape! 
Excellent advice, thanks!
Good alignment article. I am going to just leave it how it is for now after reading this.

Iam kinda in the same situation. Went for an alignment a few days ago and they told me my left rear tire is off specs a little because of cracked worn out bushings. Now im debating if its really the bushings or something else
my steering wheel is centered and the car does not pull at all. This is why iam sceptical why they told me i need new bushings for one rear wheelMy biggest problem when getting an alignment is getting the steering wheel centered....most places dont take the time...I usually do the tie rod adjust to get it right...for me...
It's possible that the bushing is visually damaged, but not affecting the alignment.
It's also possible that the bushing is fine, and they were lying to you to generate revenue.
In either case, why not wait to see if you develop those symptoms you mentioned. At worst it will cost you a set of tires.

Which bushing? Is is subframe bushing or bushing in one of the control arms or wishbones?
I am assuming it is in control arm or wishbone. What car is it?
You can get a four wheel alignment....and it is spot on and go across the street and they will check it and say you need a 4 wheel alignment...Each person does it different and each alignment rack is not the same... also when was the last time the rack was tested and reset...just like a wheel balancer they need to be checked every so often....

I would take it to mechanic to check. It is not unusual for those parts to go bad. Change both sides if it is.
Going tomorrow to have rear bushings ( silent blocks ) replaced because the guys at the alignment shop told me all my wheels align perfect except for the left rear which is off a little. They showed me how my bushings are cracked. Would new bushings help that rear left wheel to get into alignment specs? Honda crv 1998
Have a friend of mine that was complaining about his steering wheel not being spot on centered. I think that the issue for some is when they center the wheel it is centered for a flat surface and does not take into account the crown of the road. So when they leave and drive on the real roads there steering wheel is slightly off to the left or right depending on the crown of the road....and each road has a different degree crown . I took him to a level parking lot and showed him that the wheel was centered... If you set your steering wheel for the crown of the road...It will change on each crowned road...thats why they dont set it to that. Some cars with a closer ratio steering will notice this with the steering wheel because the steering is very senetive to the slightest angle of the road surface and slightest movement to the steering wheel...
