Default huge road bumps = alignment = tire problem ?

i might be just being paraniod here but here is my question. they have been doing road constuction on a highway that i take home from work. they have torn up all the asphalt off the road. i not sure when those #$%@#^$# are going to pave the damn street again. (its wonderful getting onto a 3 miles stretch of highway, during rush hour going 60-70 MPH, behind huge trucks and other cars kicking up little rocks and nasty torn up road crap right into the front end of my Z). its sounds like a BB gun hitting my front end for 3 miles. anyway they also have giant torn up sections. huge bumps and divits in the road. i hit like 4 sections of them at 75 MPH yesterday. sounded bad. i am worried this will cause an alignment issue and furthur down the well known tire issue. i have a 2004.5. so i am still hoping the problems were solved with tire problems. but, i am paranoided about screwing up the alignment that will lead to the feather problem anyway. does this kind of wear and tear knock the alignment out on cars. how late can i get an alignment at the dealers. do you guys recommend that i get one no matter what anyway. also on a quick note, when driving the Z i find it really drifts on the highway. not just to one side. but more like a left or right drift. ????

i'd worry about your front bumper and your shocks more than your tire and alignment.

you might want to get an alignment after they pave the road. they are not expensive, don't worry.
