Wheel alignment.

Hi all,

I have a question about wheel alignment. I went to shears to get my rear wheel's camber corrected. Because it seems my rear wheels are too the negative side which wear out my tires on the inside. But they said that the rear wheel's chamber can not be adjusted.

Finally i went to Nissan dealer to get that things adjusted. Finally same answered from there. They said that rear wheel can not be adjusted for the chamber.

Are they correct? As far as I know no matter it is front or rear; Toe, Camber, Caster can be adjusted right?

I just get my car dropped, Does this problem created after the drop?
Also the steering wheel is slightly turned to the right, but the car is not actually pull when i drive on the highway.

Please help.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Sincerely,
Adi.

they are correct. you have a solid rear beam and all the specs are set at the factory. only the fronts can be adjusted. has the car been in any kind of accident that might have knocked the rear out?
if the steering wheel is off centered and the car still tracks straight then most likely the last person that had it on the alignment did not have the wheel straight when doing the alignment.

it's because of the drop, they told me the same thing. They told me that I needed a sway bar to do it.

huh? suspension height will not affect camber in the rear, as it's a solid beam axle.

sway bar will not do anything for alignment.
