Keep in mind though that the tie rods have some pivoting ability to them at both ends. Point being is you can change the angle of the steering arm (by adjusting camber or caster a bit) and not effect toe a whole lot. Nonetheless it's good practice to check it after you've messed with camber or caster. And you don't need an alignment shop to do it for you. Get a pair of toe plates (or make your own) and you'll be surprised how easy it is to adjust front toe. Rear toe is more involved since the rear wheels are not joined by a rack like the fronts.

Toe is also changed by ride height. If you diddle with the height of the car, you definitely want to check your toe. On a few occasions some friends and I have tweaked the height a bit and it threw off the handling of the car quite noticeably (at the track). I raised the front spring perches of my racecar a little bit and didn't check front toe, friend dropped the rear of his car and didn't check front toe. Both cars handled like poop- lots of understeer. Both of us found the front toe to be quite a bit out of whack
