It's not that far off, so maybe i'll just leave it alone. I just bought another set of 3k takeoffs with rubber and sensors, so will burn through those, but fully expect the frts to last 2x the rears.

there has to be some correlation that one tick mark on the cam washers = x amount of degrees etc..... but it's not bad enough to spend the coin at a shop.
The problem is that because bushings wear at different rates, tires wear differently from side to side, springs settle differently, etc... It's very hard to be precise. You could get it "close enough," but then you've got to set the toe also. Any change in camber affects toe.

Firestone offers a "lifetime alignment" deal that gets you unlimited alignments for one payment. I think it comes out to about the price of 2 alignments. Great deal, actually.
