Alignment specs and steering noise
Are these alignment specs alright? I know my toe is off by a little bit. This is my daily and I drive it on the highway alot. Also when im parking my car I accidently turn the steering to much where it hits the limit of it and makes a hiss and buzz noise. Is this bad if you do it often? And do you guys get this noise also?

Does the car seem to "wander" on the highway? If so, correcting the front toe should fix that. The rear toe is in spec, though I always like to minimize the rear toe-in - better tire wear, though it sacrifices a small amount of rear-end stability.
The noise you described is pretty typical of reaching the end-of-travel for the steering rack. You can check the steering fluid level to make sure it's now low (which will cause strange noises and other issues). Once or twice won't hurt anything, but don't make a habit out of hitting the stop aggressively or holding it there, or you will damage the pump/rack/both.
