now i know with my adjustable TA, i could adjust the front rod end and make many more adjustments
the drive shaft can be pushed further into the trans to a point and the stock torque arm mount is open so you can go further into it to a point as well.

honestly the pics don't look bad to me. the trans am bumpers tuck in closer than the camaro bumpers. i dono i wouldn't be too overly concerned with it if what you tried hasn't changed anything. you need to keep many other things in alignment back there so stock length + or - an inch is probably as far as you want to go. just my thoughts.

I agree with sweetbmxer. The DS and TA are able to be pulled in to a point. Your wheel's position look good to me.

Maybe the adjustment did help a little...I really appreciate your guys help. I'll leave them alone for right now!
