There is no rear caster adjustment stock. There is no rear caster measurement!
The rear toe adjustment us the eccentric bolt on the rear trailing arm outer, where it meets the crossmember.
The only adjustment for our cars sock is front and rear toe

Your really going to need an alignment our else your tires will be gone very very quickly. Eyeing rear toe and adjusting the cam bolt Would be very inaccurate

hard to get an alignment on a low *** car especially when the closest tuning shops are like 40 miles away one way. so that why i need to atleast eye the front. dont care too much about the rear since my stockers are on

Toe is a very fine adjustment and can kill a tire and screw up performance

that oval eccentric bolt does quite a bit if its not stripped out. Other then that you would be looking at adjustable toe links.

I picked up a new one at the dealer for 25$ I imagine if that bolt is not getting you enough toe towards the stock position you have something bent or torqued. Because those are the only 2 points in which toe can be adjusted in the rear.
