Default Rear toe is off...will it be okay to track?
rear left and right toe are off by about .4 because the shop I went to didnt have the tool to adjust rear toe.


Do you think it will be okay to run my car in a DE?

Didn't have the tool? Did you put it on an alignment rack?

I'd say your fine either way though.

I actually bought the tool - it was cheap and seemed like a good idea at the time. It's really pretty useless.
