FD active Rear steering?
Ok I'm sorry if thats has been asked I searched for this and got alot of steering related answers but not what I was looking for exactly ..
Ok here's my issue.. I had my car aligned the other day . they wouldnt give me a warranty because my tires are almost gone , and this and that . but I needed an alignment so I went and did it anyway
Now when the guy gave me the sheet I see that the rear has a little toe in in the rear .. as per my instructions , but one side hte pass side has more then the driver side . I told the tech about this he said the diff would be so minimal it wouldnt matter .
so I take hte car out and its pulling right well I blame it on the miss matched tires / wheels , what ever you may want but its alot better then ti was so I'm ok with it . now the other day I notice something crazy .. My rear right *(passenger side) wheel looks like its turned in alot .. i compare it to the driver side wheel .. and the driver side looks straight .. I'm going wtf .. did hte guy leave a loose screw did it get adjusted by itself or was this all my imagination .. I took the car around hte block it still pulled to the right but no more no less then it had been since hte day I got it aligned ..
I go well ... maybe its just my imagination . so I look at it another day .. and it just looks way off .. not the car is pulling to the right which means tomuch toe in on the rear right tire may very well be the dcause so today I get home and I'm getting ready to adjust the toe . but now.. it looks even with the driver side rear ... dead even.. if anything the driver side is less toed in .. so I'm going a little crazy , I know the FC had a feature where the toe would adjust itself a bit when you turned ..
but I didn't think the FD had the same feature .. is there something loose in there bad wheel bearing , bad something . or does the FD have active rear steering and thats why i see more toe angles at times then others?

Something is wrong.
If the toe is changing than there is a problem, Remove the wheel and check that all of the lock nuts are tight and all bushings are in good condition.
Also I did not read the whole OP, the grammar and spelling was difficult to read........ There is no need for 3 or 4 periods after a sentence fragment or a run-on sentence.

"Active" steering is just whatever you get with 20 year old sloppy *** bushings.
Like what was mentioned, pull your wheels and look at both sides suspension. Look at the bushings and arms. Something's gonna be jank. Toe arms and/or trailing arms would be my guess.
