All: I lifted the car for doing the toe-in adjustments to at the rears. And yes I drove it after every adjustment making sure the suspension settled. The neighbors got pissed because it was almost midnight by the time I was done and I live on a steep road.....
I will take it into an alignment shop tomorrow that has Porsche and race car experience. They did MikeZ's car and seem to know what they are talking about.
Still, my laser method gives very accurate readings. Over 6m (20feet) distance I can measure a 1/4 inch difference of the laser spot (or better) repeatably. That is equivalent to about 0.06 or 1/16 degrees resolution.
If the measurements on their jig tomorrow are way out of the ordinary I will get new bushings (jaja Ryan, I hear ya) and bite the bullet installing them. What's a good time for you Ryan to maybe give me a hand ?
dad911 I don't have the exact numbers for the toe-in of my rears with me here. What I remember is that the right rear is almost at zero toe (the laser hits the front wheel edge). The left rear is toed out by about 0.2 degrees. (Can't toe it in more)
Would you go after the banana arm bushings first or the spring plate bushings or all of them? When I put in the rear spring plates its bushings looked to be in O.K. to good shape. I never looked at the banana arm bushings so far.
