I have had a couple of alignments but when I get the sheet back they can never seem to get the right rear toe in spec. I am going to get some camber bolts for the rear eventually to help with that aspect because it's barely in spec.
What can I do to allow adjustment in the rear for toe? I know whiteline makes a kit but its pretty spendy. Any other options?

Camber bolts won't adjust your toe... toe is how much the wheel angles in/out from the static vertical.
"The toe measurement is the difference in the distance between the front of the tires and the back of the tires. Since tires with camber have a tendency to slant inward or outward (camber thrust) when viewed from above, tires are set as close as possible to zero. Toe-in means that the front of the tires are closer to each other than the rear. Toe-out is just the opposite, tires with excessive toe-in or toe-out suffer more readily form feathering. The toe position will vary depending on the driver system and the type of suspension as well as between the front and rear wheels. Tires suffer from feather edge wear when improperly aligned."

My apologizes. I know what toe is and camber is. I wish I wouldve read what I wrote before posting.
I was going to get camber bolts because the camber is slightly off as well and having that adjustablity will be nice when I run camber all the way around.
I was just looking for options for rear toe adjustment other then the whiteline kit.
Sorry Huffer

chances are they can't adjust it because the adjustment bolts are seized to the bushings sleeves. I had to cut the bolts out when I replaced my rear suspension bushings.

So if they can't get the camber and the toe right - you think something is bent?

You referring to the lateral links? Or what bolts.
I've had it in spec before but something keeps throwing it out of spec.
