Default Rear Suspension and Alignment

When I removed the transmission from my car, my help failed to mark the eccentric bolts when he removed them. Whats the score? Is this going to make this thing a nightmare to align? Or, is it not REALLY that bad, just a small PITA.

Thanks,

Where are you and what rims do you have? I've got the paint sticks, laser levels, and bungees to do a quick alignment (capt. earl style). Had to do it on mine after I replaced my transmission, as one of the marks I made wore off from putting the eccentric bolt on.

Actually, and this is unfortunate, I am moving it to Charlotte to join me. I just left Pittsburgh.

All is stock. Vin is xxxxx0760, although I'm not sure that it makes a difference from the 86.5s

That's what you get for leaving Although that does make you one of the few from around here that's ever left western PA

Was wondering about the rims as it effects the calculations, had I been able to help you out.

The rears don't suffer the suspension-binding fate that the fronts do. You may be able to find a place willing to just align the rears. The camber didn't change so all they need to do it toe.
