"Under C" measures front and rear. Have done a few times to ensure consistent reads.

Front

.103" ...just shy of 1/8" total toe out.
Photos of fronts taken some months ago---well before I changed them out.

Rear

.061" ...about 1/16" total toe in.
Side to side wear is best I've seen from my rears ever. Both tires are same as this. (Too high pressure.)

Under C method is very quick but it leaves me questioning which, if a side, is to be adjusted? Or is it standard procedure to adjust both sides? Does string method tell which side to adjust?

If your steering wheel is straight, make equal adjustments to tie rods for toe.

Otherwise adjust to straighten the wheel.

You should do camber before toe. Actually, Rideheight, cornerbalance, camber and toe are all inter related.

Many good threads on this forum for DIY alignments.
