My car is a 1991 Honda CRX DX. I got a front and rear toe alignment today after replacing inner and outer tie rods as I’m chasing a steering wheel shake and left pulling issue. After the alignment, my car was still pulling to the left and was still having excess wheel vibrations. I got the car in the air and eventually found that my upper control arm bolts that hold the bushings were not fully torqued… lol. Anyway, I was wondering if it is necessary to go back and get another alignment after tightening these down to spec. I also tightened the rack and pinion adjusting nut to the spec from the book and replaced the driver side axle. My steering shake is significantly less, though my car still pulls to the left.

My specs after the alignment are attached

 

Seems reasonable. I prefer zero toe rear, personally.

 

I also prefer zero toe.

I also know if you have your front toe 100% perfectly balanced on a rack, it's going to pull whatever direction the road is sloping... So if you like to ride the fast lane, it's going left. If you like to ride the slow lane, it's going right. You'll need to just add toe to the right and remove toe from the left in equal parts. So you might end up with -1deg left and +1deg right.

People make a huge deal out of alignments and accuracy. I string align all my cars to 0 toe, go for a drive and if it's pulling one way or the other I pull over in a clean parking lot, and turn the tierods a quarter turn in corresponding directions, then continue my test drive. Rinse and repeat as needed. Tire wear is great, cars handle great, the amount of money I save on alignments is great lol.

I've string aligned things as small as my crx and as huge as my chevy express 3500.

Yup.

 

Should be doing alignment with driver weight in the seat too, which like no shop ever does.

 

1mm toe in (2mm total) on the rear is usually our go to. I found that sometimes zero toe makes the car feel like a truck. YMMV.

 

Depends where the ride height is, honestly. It can really kill the rear of the car.
