Who's had luck with adjusting the rear toe or camber? How'd the shop do it?

I know you're not supposed to be able to but sometimes posts say you can adjust a bit.

My total rear toe is +.54 (need to bring down to 0-.25 if possible)

Also, my RR tire is -1.5 camb (like to bring back to -1.0)

No accidents at all. RR wheel doesn't wobble at all - no play. Thrust angle is currently -.08. Mechanic is fairly competent using Hunter equip. Rear measurements were similar but not as bad 3 months ago - figures look correct.

I'm worried about the rear toe and camber specifically

Left rear camber -1.0 deg
Right rear camber -1.5 deg
Left rear toe +.19 deg
Right rear toe +.35 deg
Rear total toe +.54 deg

With no accidents I really don't want to swap rear beams...

Maybe I'll take it to a race oriented alignment shop for a 2nd opinion.

Tire wear is hard to tell on since I change and rotate every couple of weeks. I ran maybe 5K miles earlier this year before rotating but didn't notice anything.

Thanks for the ideas.

The only way to adjust the rear suspension is to use the play in the factory bolts. Your usual jabroni alignment guy will try to tell you that as long as it's in factory spec it's ok.


Go to a race shop and they'll understand.
