I have heard that maximas can only be aligned on front two wheels, the rear can't be tweaked? Is that true?

So, we only need front two wheels alignments, not 4???

Anyone?

Thanks

Strictly speaking it's only a two wheel alignment but to be really right you would want what they generally call a "thrust line alignment where the front wheels are aligned not only to each other but to the centerline of the car and the rear axle. Generally there's not much difference but not always - you occasionally see a realy bad case of a car crabbing down the road with the rear wheels not in line with the front - each end is aligned fine, but not with respect to each other.
