New hub bearings and lower ball joints

I went to firestone on Monday to get alignment and check steering wheel shacking. They found grinding and wore out hub bearings and bad lower ball joints, they showed me, and they were bad. So I went to Napa and gathered some parts and went to work, I did not want to pay there labor charges. I took back this morning and finished alignment and man what a difference the truck drives and feels at 70 & 75 mph down the interstate. Just cruising the county roads is much better, very happy with the alignment and the job my friend and I did.

The question I have is the rear thrust angle is on the border line off, at
.40 degree. He said he thinks who ever put the rear blocks on might let the rear end get a touch off. Says I might not even be able to see it at all. He suggested to loosen the u bolts and tap back on the driver side some? Any ideas or just leave it?

if you don't have any vibration don't mess with it.
