Right... and only for toe.

Rear is a solid beam and adjustable only by sledge hammer or going sideways into curbs.

Well; even if the thrust angle is off, there is nothing adjustable that can be done for the rear.

No. You dont have to "adjust" the rear wheels to check the thrust angle.

4 wheel thrust angle - Front wheels are set on the same line as the rear wheels. It's the only way to assure a perfectly centered steering wheel.

A 4 wheel thrust angle alignment on a Maxima should run about 50 bucks.

ahh i am not saying you have to adjust the thrust angle in the rear because you really cant.. unless you do it with shims but thrust angle still has to be checked , you just cant to a two wheel alignment becuase it wont be accurate.

It would be if the thrust angle was correct.

quick question.. I have sprints and they are well settled..Is the camber adjustable without camber bolts? because some people on here have drops and they're camber is within spec while others have to use camber bolts??
