I finally had the front end aligned and have been driving the car a bit. The rear end isn't making any bad noises. I do have some gear whine but I'm not worried about that at this point. It's not bad.
When I had the front end aligned I asked them to give me the rear end specs also. I have +0.6 degrees toe on the left(driver's) and -0.2 degrees toe on the right. I have not followed the car to verify this but it feels like the back end is stepping out to the right when I'm driving straight. I put the rear end back in the car squared to within 1/16th inch. I have not verified that it hasn't moved somehow yet either. I guess I'm just wondering if with the toe settings I have if that's enough to cause the back end to step out.
