^^^ true!

Only thing that needs to be adjusted is the toe of the front two wheels. When I had my alignment done, the left wheel was off by .30

The rear is a solid axel, to the best of my knowledge, there isnt anything to adjust.

BTW .... one side of the rear is off, more then the other. If you look at the rear, the drivers side sits in more then on the passengers side. By about 5MM. All the boxes have this problem, its normal for some reason. They came this way from the factory.

it's true there is nothing to adjust on the rear but the guy at the shop told me that you can install shims on the hub so the wheels will sit level on the ground,think i'll do the alignment to the front for now as for the rear i'll wait and see what kinda tire wear i'm getting..

I can understand the idea of the shims, but I can't see any way that raising or lowering the suspension can change the alignment. With both spindles attached to the same swingarm the axles have to be parallel (actaully, coaxial) to each other throughout their travel.
