I think I've finally come to realize my problem was the bolt which holds the camber arm in place (the side with the bushing). I didn't want to install the SPC toe bolts because I really have no interest in cutting or drilling anything on the car. What I failed to realize is the stock bolt has some toe adjustability, and if I'm correct, I must've put it completely to one end (for toe-in), where the other one was in a much more neutral position.

So the question remains... what are the traction arms actually for then? As I mentioned, it didn't matter how I adjusted it, it changed nothing visible about the position of the suspension. I don't even know if the guy on the alignment rack should be adjusting them. Thoughts?
