    Rear alignment all jacked up

    I just took my car to the shop for an alignment. They came back and told me they were unable to adjust the rear alignment to my car. Anyone have any problems like this? They said the Toe is outrageous and is destroying my tires. What do I need to look for? I just put 2 new tires on last month they're already showing wires and I can't have this going on right now because I have to start commuting long distances very soon.

    Someone please help me, I'm in a bind here.

    The rear alignment isn't adjustable in the stock configuration. Camber and/or toe errors are caused by bad subframe or trailing arm bushings or a bent trailing arm. The first action would be to replace the bushings. If that doesn't cure the alignment problem one (or both) trailing arms will have to be replaced.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      ^this sounds like you've been in some kind of accident. I think the front toe is the only thing adjustable unless u have a rear camber kit & camber plates

          It's stock height. I looked into rear toe kits. Anyone know how much it would cost to install from a local shop? I know the company that sells them will install for about 180-320. But I don't have the time right now to ship it out, have them install, wait for it to be shipped back, and then reinstall it.
