question on home alignment
I have completed a full rebuild of the rear suspension and am at the alignment stage now. I have my rear camber where I want it and after the first adjustment have .020 toe in on the left and .100 toe in on the right. What do you guys use as final. I am looking at about .050 target but want to hear what others have been doing.

1/8th on both sides so .250 total. In retrospect I think he could of gone less(alignment guy) maybe .125 total. But tire wear is even and not excessive.
edit for oops just dug alignment sheet out it was 1/8th total even split to both sides.

Re: question on home alignment (Scott78)
Don't forget to check that you're not "dog legging" i.e. rear wheels not lined up with front wheels. One way to do this is to project a laser beam from one of the new laser-levels onto the front spindle, or alignment gauge and make sure you're pretty well centered. Toe can be correct but both wheels can be pointing off into left-field somewhere...
