    Toe rear alignment off

    I just got the car aligned. Front no problems. For the rear the camber was within specs but the toe readings are:

    Left -0.23 deg, right .07 deg. The specs they give as min/max are .12/.25 deg which indicate there is something wrong in the left side. What are the typical issues that would cause this? Don't remember if a negative number is toe in or out.

    how low is your car? Did you hit a curb and bend in trailing arm a little, or the subframe connections to the trailing arm? How are your trailing arm bushings look?

      I'm running Vogtlands so I'm not too low 1-1.5". You think the TABs might the culprit? So is the left side toe in or out?

        Left is toe in. You've probably worn out trailing arm bushes..

          usuallu when you lower, your toe sets IN. something thing like 3mm per every inch of drop, overall it's around 1-2 degrees. The fact that one side is in (like it should be) and other side is out is funky. TAB could be the reason, but this is a bit too weird, I'd check TAB connections for bends. I'd suggest K-Macks TAB's, I personally hate them, but they are much cheaper then welding on Camber/Toe adjusters to the subframe.

            Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to talk to the alignment shop and will also look at the TABs closely. Car has over 230k so its about time to replace the bushings, and the bearings, and the SFBs and................:(
