Is it possible to...

knock the wheel alignment out of the rear wheels?

If so, how can I tell it's out?



Mounted the rear left on the kerb whilst reverse parking

How fast were you reversing! I don't think it would reverse quick enough to even do any damage

I would have thought because the rear wheels are not turnable like the front, then its alignment couldn't be knocked out?

Though I could be wrong..

I agree with that.
Does the car pull right or left when you are on brake?
Another thing...if the knocking was hard, don't you have to check your rear alloys too?

Re: Is it possible to...

Rear left is already a little more worn than the other (it used to be the front), so would be hard to tell.

No pulling when braking.

And no alloys
