I know this has been covered before but...here's the story. Had four wheel laser alignment done today and was advised the rear axle is 'crabbing'. Here are the figures:
Left rear toe: -0.09 degrees
Right rear toe: +50 degrees
The technician suggested it might be possible to create some 'adjustability' by elongating the holes in the brackets through which the bolts for the rear bushes go, but I don't like that idea one bit.
I was wondering if, instead, it would be possible to insert a shim (drilled with the appropriate holes) betwen the mounting plate on the axle where it attaches to the floopan (by two bolts).
Having said all that, in five years I've had no uneven tyre wear, the car drives straight as a die and handles beautifully...so should I be bovver'd? Answers on a postcard...
