question on rear axle alignment I just got car back from the alignment shop and was looking over the specs. The front end was spot on but the 'thrust angle' was -.25* plus the left rear toe was -.26 and the RR toe angle was +.23*. Now I know the rear end has no adjustment and it is all stock still but is this too far out of wack like someone hit a curb or is that just the way it is? The car seems to track straight and rides fine...
Sounds like just tolerances in the suspension than anything. You could get adjustable stuff to get it exactly perfect but that's a bit unnecessary. Mine is a tad off also, technically, but no problems from it and I know this car has never been hit or curbed.
I agree, although it does annoy me somewhat, knowing that my rear axle is skewed a little bit. (and my car has never been damaged either.)
I ran across somebody who was racing, needed the adjustable stuff, sold it all to him, and put some "hand fabbed, steel tubing" LCAs and PHB on the car, that work with rubber bushings.

Cool thanks for the replies. I was hoping to hear it was pretty normal because I didn't have the money to dump in replacing the rear suspension now. The front end rebuild was plenty on cash as it was. But now that everything is brand spankin new it, its one tight ride.
