The guys at the alignment shop would only set the rear toe at factory.
It's been a while and I'll need to dig out the spec sheet tomorrow.
After I test drove it the same result. On the gas pulled right. Off pulled left. Or the other way around. The SOTP feeling was annoying and somewhat frightening at speed.
So I cranked in one flat on each side. Viola!
I'll be getting new shoes soon and the shop I'm dealing with now will let me under the car while they're working...

You won't be able to set the toe without some kind of gauge. You can do your straight edge thing on the front of each rear tire and the rear of each rear tire and measure the difference from side to side. If they are equal, you will have zero toe. I used to set mine just slightly towed in. The front and rear track are different, the rear being wider than the front so you can't just aim the rears even with the front.
