Thanks Rick. I had the fix pretty well figured out in my head but was looking for somebody that has done it to verify I was on the right track. The toe adjustment needs to be done during initial setup. It would be a royal PITA to try and strip all the rear suspension down after the car's all built. As you probably remember, the spreader tubes on the A arm brackets to the rear end don't permit room to loosen and tighten the bolts without removing them first. Besides that, a bare frame is much easier to slot the forward cross member to allow movement of the fulcrum shafts.
As an answer to Patrick's question, I heavily packed the bearings during assembly with a high heat , high pressure grease. I also removed the vent plugs in the housing and tapped them out to pipe thread so that an occasional squirt into the housing of fresh grease can be applied should they need it. Of course if a wheel/axle seal should start to leak a tear down would be in order.
