My guess is the need for spreader bars (for toe-in adjustment) is required only if the tires are on sliding plates?
My proof that my method works is I never have uneven tire wear. That is good enuf for me!

Fair enough - I'm no expert - I just follow instructions in the FSM up to the point where it is about to cost me money for special tools. At this point I think of something to replicate the special tool.
Also what I would really really like to do is to adjust my caster, camber and toe with my bits of metal, grease and wood and then take it to the dealer and for them to say "it doesn't need any adjustment".
That would bring a smile to my face.
