I think the reason you guys are getting differing results is because your front wheels are varying in width but more importantly offset, therefore you each have a different scrub radius. I like to run 5 or 6 degrees castor on a wide car depending on how much scrub radius I am dealing with. The maximum castor you can get without modification is about 2.5 degrees. I normally set the toe in at 1/8th.(3mm) with factory rubber bushings and 1/16th (1.5mm) with poly as they flex less. As Tony says the aim is to get the wheels to track straight when driving down the road. Every enthusiast should own the Carroll Smith books!

I agree with Forest, do your own alignments if you can - it's fun getting it right.
