PFADT Rear Control Arm and Trailing Arm Alignment
After I install these on the car this weekend, do I need to bring it in to a alighnment shop to check the toe or any other alignment issues?

Yes, you need to have the rear toe aligned since the alignment bolts had to be removed for the install.

It's a really good idea to have the alignment checked after installing these. The trailing arm does effect toe, and it's a lot cheaper to have the rear alignment checked than buy another set of tires if it's too far out of spec.

What are numbers for correct alignment? Or should they know?

We recommend these alignment specs for different uses and modification levels. They are a little more precise than the factory specs, but once dialed in feel really good.
