I used the string method to align the rear axle. The chain adjusting marks no longer agree, but the chain bounces much less while running in 1st gear on the swing arm stand. With the adjusting marks in agreement, the axle was about 3mm skewed. After the initial adjustment, the chain was too tight so I loosened it by turning both adjusters equally in the same direction and then double-checked the alignment. Torquing the axle seemed to cause the chain to tighten and bumped the alignment off, by about 1mm. After checking alignment at several locations on the rim, I decided it was within specs.
