Rear End Trouble
 
I got new tires yesterday and they told me that the rear was out of alignment and there was nothing they could do. Is there really no way to adjust anything on the rear?

I know you can get a part to adjust camber but isn't there some way to adjust the toe-in. Someone recomended that I replace all of my bushings but I don't think that it will fix the toe?

Has anyone ever had there toe-in adjusted on their car. I just want to know if it is possible.

The front end of the rear trailing arm has an adjustment cam.

That adjustment will do the toe in then? Those Bitches at Firestone are giving me my money back then.

Why don't shops know about that adjustment. Their computer had absolutely no info on a rear alignment. Can you tell me where to look for it so I can show it to them?

YES YOU CAN ADJUST TOE ON THE REAR WITH OUT THE CAMBER ROD THOUGH THAT'S ALL YOU CAN ADJUST. new bushings will help buth the toe and camber but, not that much you may still need to adjust the toe actualy i'd check the toe anyway just to be sure it's in spec.

I'm emailing a guy right now that works on 7's all the time and he is telling me that the FD has a toe adjustment but the FC does not. Can anyone tell me from experience that the FC definitely has the adjustment?

Thanks Bill,
I'm going to go get my money back now. Where do you think I could find a place that knows how to do the alignment? Also, do you think that I should get a camber adjust link?
Thanks again for your help.

The camber should be good unless you have lowered it more than an inch..
