make sure the toe in the back is correct, there are small notches below the compensator arm to adjust this, also, your thrust angle might be off because of the differing toe angles, ideally, they should be 1/16" to 1/8" toe in, this will correct a loose rear, this cant be done more accurately without an alignment machine, but can be adjusted easily until it suits you, which is how I did mine, find your old bolt holes, and match them as well as you can, and use that as a starting point. if you need more help with how to do this, post back.

How can your front alignment be off when you only did a rear brake conversion? Anyways, get your car aligned and you should be good.
