The rear axle washers have a lobe shape when you rotate the axle both side adjust the same. It is self aligning.

As stated above, the cams on the axle will take care of the alignment. They will also function in making sure you get your belt tension correct. Don't be alarmed if they are not where you marked them when your belt is at the proper tension...
