Well, as some surmised here, I was probably overthinking this question or
conundrum. The reality is that the rebuilt front axle is sitting in a car without the engine, transmission, or steering gear. Without such loads in and locked down it is a probably a bit premature to be deciding that something is amiss with the alignment. These cars are a bit squishy until everything is bolted down so I will wait until then to set the toe-in. Thanks to all that responded with good advise and counsel.
