rear alignment and parts replacement
assuming the center pumpkin is withing specs, yokes are tight...and the rest of the car is newish....and using VBP struts....
question is...does the alignment change all that much for removing and reinstalling the rear end??? changed urethan inserts in the rods after about 5 years, last winter....and then readjusted them...
but on R/R of the entire rear end, without moving t-arms, does the alignment change much???

That's going to depend on how you put it back together.
If you replaced the pumpkin then you lost your original camber settings.
Your toe-in should still be the same though.
Get yourself a camber gauge and check for yourself, I got mine here.... http://www.racecarsupply.com/html/cambergage.html

Yes, the level is built into it in front of the ****.
You place it on the outer edge of your wheel and turn the **** from it's
starting point until it is level, each turn is 1 degree and it's marked in 1/4 degree increments. You can go + or - too.
