the cheap camber bolt kits, I use them, will solve that, the OBX ones I use gave me play in both dirctions to +/-2.75 degrees, I did the align myself and saw the numbers. looking at your readings that should be just right for your front, the shim kits would also work on your rear. If you have the money, good plates would be better, and I have found, once, a set of control arms for these things that are supposed to cure it too...

I would just buy the bolts

The front and rear toe, are easy to adjust and the caster will not get into the green with any of it, but you can live with that.

Your welcome
If you have the shop align it, with the bolts, they must be
torqued to 100ft.lbs. if not they WILL move. Its a little
tricky gettin the torque wrench in there on the rack with the
tires on, and to keep the bolt from moving while you do it,
you can only fit one set of hands in there, but it can be done.

ok so how do I go about doing this at the house, b/c I can't find anyone that my car will fit on the rack.
also is there a link to a site or something that I can learn more about this stuff, after reading what you have posted a few times I am more confused than ever. You make it sound very simple, but I am having a hard time understanding it, suspension stuff is all new to me.

so I just buy these bolts put them where? and then I can move it around then tighten it down and done? And on the rear I buy some "shims" where do they go?

See what I mean?

Yeah, I dunno (caster issue).. maybe when installing the springs, but there shouldn't be that much of a caster related shift.. I'm stumped on that, but it is what it is.
