The new ones and old camber bars aren't 'quite the same' setup. The old ones have adjustors on the center end of the arm, a concentric washer that's adjusted to set the angle while the new ones have a heim joint on each end. Not sure if they are short enough to use with that adjustable washer or not or even if I want to do it that way. The new one has a replacement plate that centers the bolt and does not have that adjustable washer. That's where I was thinking if the knuckle was supported and the angle and if using the plumb bobs line up after the swap out then it should be in the same position or pretty darn close.

You guys have given me some good stuff to think about. Leaning more to doing the camber rods then run it a little and then touch the toe bars. I'm wondering if I could back it up on some ramps if I could do some measuring and swap out the toe bars without touching anything other than swapping them out assuming I can get a 'slip on' fit as long as the car is supported on the wheels and hasn't moved? If nothing can move, seems like it might be an easier solution to get it close initially but still thinking it through.
