When I took mine in to the dealer I asked the same ?
They told me it is a 4 wheel alignment.

Haha... the rear is a BEAM! It's 2-wheel.

If you got charged for a 4-wheel alignment you got robbed.

there are three different types of alignment, a two-wheel, four-wheel and thrust alignment. A two-wheel only aligns the front wheels. A thrust aligns the fronts based on the rears. A four-wheel will align the rears and then align the fronts off of those. Typically, you want to start with a thrust alignment and only do a four-wheel alignment if the rears are not aligned. In most cases, they will be aligned properly.

They have done some other work that I am not happy with so I think I'll just find another dealer even if it is inconveinient ofr me to use.
