Am I going to shred through tires with this toe alignment? 94 Accord
Went to get an alignment and my rear adjustable toe arms are siezed due to rust. I'm wondering if I will shred through tires if I rotate them religiously? Cost of getting new arms, the giant OEM Honda bolts, and the labor of getting the current arms torched off is gonna be ridiculous. The performance shop didn't even want to do it lol
Specs:
Rear left toe 0.17 (red)
Rear right .02 (red)
Total rear .15 (green)
Rear left camber -1.6 (red)
Rear right camber -0.4 (green)

They will wear,but not ridiculously so.
Id say rotation is your friend in this case.

Static(sitting on the alignment machine) numbers can give a false sense of dynamic suspension settings, especially on older/higher mileage vehicles.
Also if you were not sitting in the driver seat when they checked, that will also skewer the numbers. Our Accords don't drive themselves.
Best thing to do is check your tires for wear, if there is no noticeable wear or feathering then leave the suspension alone.
I know the alignment specs on my 340Kmile Accord look like absolute trash on the machine. Tires wear evenly and the car grips pretty good.
All that compliance in the bushings can skewer the static alignment quite a bit from dynamic/actual(driving) alignment.
