I have NF210's and my rear toe is .33 left and .07 right. I rotate my tires every 5k miles, my xB drives straight, and I have no uneven tire wear. The backyard mechanic in me says don't worry about it.

The toe on mine is what ruined my last set of tires. They have no fix for it yet either.

There's no point in alignment for the xB '08, is there? I went to Super AutoBacs and they said they couldn't do anything for me. They couldn't adjust Toe, and they need the camber kit to adjust that...

Having your front toe correctly aligned is critical.

My understanding is that it's the only thing that an alignment shop can adjust on a stock xB2.

I went back for my appointment at Super AutoBacs and the tech was knowledgeable and kind (unlike the salesman I talked to before). They looked up the xB and set the toe--he told me that there's nothing to correct the rest and just recommended tire rotations every oil change to be safe.
