Default rear alignment?

I lowered the rear of my 90 and it appears the caster/camber is off ( definetaly not Toe ) IE the top of the tire sticks in slightly more than the bottom and is not perpendicular with the ground any more. That said, now do I adjust for this? Is it that bolt and plate setup where the lower control arm meets the Dana 44 front batwing housing? If so how do I make the adjustment? Loosen the bolts and how do you turn or adjust it? Just want to be sure before I start loosening things up. Thanks

makes, sense. Think about it. When you lower, the lower control arm pushes the tire out. Get it aligned. I think the front is needed too if you do just the rear.. I could be wrong. Yes, it is the bolt where the lower control arm meets the batwing. Its on there real good! Manual says 170 ft. lbs.
