You could drop check it with some chalked string by putting it on stands and picking the same points on the chassis at each side and corners etc with a plumb line and go from point to point with the string and "twang " it to put chalk lines down on the floor,this will give you an idea of what is where in relation to all the other bits.

My rear suspension has threaded adjusters on the inboard bushes at each point.

I just assume the chassis is square to within a mm (which I know it is), clamp a long spirit level to the spindle with the wheel and brake drum removed and measure the distance between the level and the chassis at two points. Then simple a conversion from radians to degrees. 0.5° toe in means 5 mm difference at the distance of 600 mm. Any higher precision is unnecessary.
