A consideration i did not see anyone mention is that you need to have a "thrust angle" alignment done to get it done properly.
Sometimes the rear axle is not perfectly centered with the centerline of the chassis. If this is the case, it will be impossible to get the wheel centered when the car is rolling down the road.
Most people have seen a car or truck going down the hi-way in what is called " crabbing". In other words it looks like the car is going slightly "sideways" down the road. This normally indicates that the vehicle has been in an accident or had the rear axle replaced without making sure it was 90° to the centerline of the car.
Go to a reputable alignment shop, have a proper suspension inspection for loose/damaged parts. Get a print out of what the thrust angle of the car is.
