I checked out all my linkages, bushings etc and really cannot find anything that appears bad to me. Really pulled and pushed on the rear wheels (jacked up of course) and could not get any movement out of them. Could not see any deformity or cracking in any of the bushings. Everything look really nice actually. I started to think about Norm in NJ's and psfred's comments about the rear toe and thought maybe I should make sure the rear toe is correct in the first place. But that led to this question, which applies to the front toe as well:

When the spec says (as it does for my car) "Toe-in of front wheels: 25' +-10' " does that mean each wheel is toed in 25' (.42deg) or that each wheel is toed in half that amount (.21 deg)? I would assume the former except that the spec for the rear toe says "Total Toe-In Of Rear Wheels: 33' +-7". So I started to wonder "what do they mean by 'Total'"? Is that just sort of a type-O? By my first measurement my rear wheels are at about 14' toe-in each, which is quite a bit different than 33' assuming that is for each side.

Any alignment experts out there?

Thanks,
Mike
