Alignment questions....
I did my alignment today and here's what I got for my settings:
Camber
FL: (-.66*) FR: (-.54*)
RL: (-.81*) RR: (-.81*)
My concern is the toe:
FL: (.14*) FR: (.16*)
RL: (.16*) RR: (.13*)
The total toe in the front is 30*
The total rear toe is 29*
Are these settings correct?
They are all within specified range from factory specs. I will be using the car for autocrosses every weekend.
The very inner sidewall of my last front tires were worn down the most. Looks like Toe problems, or could it be a bad tie rod?
Feedback is much appreciated. Thanks, ahead of time for all who replies.

If the front of the car was jacked at all before or during the alignment process, the toe figures have no relationship to reality.
If the car is jacked, the toe will be set incorrectly, and when the car settles (takes several miles of driving) you will have toe-out rather than toe-in. This is the most common cause of wear on the inner edges.
