Alignment with LSD

Would you adjust your rear toe when installing LSD? Opinions?

Having taken my axles off a number of times, I can tell you any competent shop should know not to touch anything related to the control arm when doing an LSD. The axles simple disconnect from the rear diff with 6 bolts at the universal cv joint and you suspend them while changing the diff.

I think more toe-in would probably be a good idea. My car was quite a bit less stable with the LSD added. Toe-in should increase stability.

Toe is an easy change. Just try it and then go do some donuts in a parking lot
