I do my own string alignments on hub stands, and I find that the turnbuckle really makes my life easier when aligning.
Your machined toe, like most of your work, are pieces of art. If you no longer want them I would be happy to take them off of your hands.

I have 39k street miles on my Rogue toe arms and they're still tight. The rod ends they use aren't FKs strongest but the original NJM series are holding up just fine. I even bought (higher spec) replacements but they just sit in a drawer, waiting. I've replaced the Seals-it WS series rod end seals twice due to rubber cracking, however. I'm thinking of switching to the RERS series boots, but why fix it if it isn't really broken?

FWIW, I just installed Lemforder 3067901 spherical bearings in the hubs for the trailing arms. A bit of initial stiction, but once overcome the movement is smooth and easy.
