Thanks for pointing it out. You are right, the rear track is approx 2.3 inches (60 mm) narrower than the front and I tried my best to take it into consideration. The narrower rear track does explain why the car does not want to go straight while driving in deep snow.

Aligning worn suspensions is not a very rewarding task, so I did not try very hard. Trying to measure long distances alone with a tape ruler also isn't super accurate. There is an old saying that the weight of the car takes out the slack in the suspension.
