    rear toe

    Just got an alignment done at firestone and I have -.31 degrees of rear toe (all on once side basically). My understanding is that toe out on these cars can induce dangerous oversteer pretty quickly at high speeds. Anyone know at what point this becomes an issue? Should I be worried about severe handling impact at -.30 degrees?

    Sounds like bent rear trailing arms are a relatively common. Should I jump right to that or does anyone know if worn RTABs could cause this level of toe change?

    Side note, aside from finding the rear toe issue, my DIY front toe alignment was basically spot on. Kind of pissed that I paid for the alignment just to have them throw it on the rack and basically do nothing.

      I'd replace the rear trailing arm bushings as a first step. Check the subframe bushings while you are in that area. If new bushings don't solve the problem either replace the bad trailing arm or add in the camber/toe adjusters.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        I used 12mm subframe riser bushings and diff spacers. Condor Speed Shop style.
