Close enough in toe. Not exact, but if you use a tape measure to set your toe, then put it on an alinement machine ,it's not to hard to figure out.

Yes. Just have them set it within factory specs. A good alinement guy will know how to set your toe.

Truel. I was thinking of front ends in general. Far as I know you are shopping for a new axle housing if the JK camber is out, although replacing the "C" bracket might work in some cases.

Camber can be adjusted to within spec if it is out by installing adj. Ball joints.

As I said in previous post, if camber is out, it can be fixed with adj ball joints.
