I'm guessing that if you do the trigonometry on those differences in track over the length of the vehicle, the difference in terms of degrees is very small. Thanks for the alternate method - I actually used something similar to that on my 83 years ago with some success. I spent 3 days and a trip to the wreckers in doing the struts on my 93 (frozen gland nut/ruined gland nut)recently, so paying someone to do the alignment just doesn't seem right somehow. I marked the strut position with what turned out to be non permanent marker and sort of guessed at the correct location and the replacement strut had an almost brand new tie rod attached, so I used that. The car tracks pretty well despite all that - go figure.

Thanks for the response,
