I look forward to hearing how it turns out on the rack! Good luck, hopefully it's bushings.

I don't have too many free days in the next couple weeks but I'm sure we can work something out. It might give me a good excuse to ditch work.

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)
Are your toe measurements only going off of where the laser hits the front tires? I would think that there would have to be a lot of planets aligned (no pun intended) for that to be truly accurate. And if you are setting the laser against the rear tire then it would be even worse.

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.
Do 'em both. If you are going to go through the trouble of taking it apart you might as well know that everything is in good shape for a while. Are you going to do the fronts too?
