Default Toe at -7.00º WTF!! help

ignore the other post, friend left signed on my computer...

just got an alignment since i raise my car up a little and got new rims/tires. well everythings fine except the right rear. it was at -6.7 to 7.00º! it was at max adjustment and couldnt adjust any lower. the rest of the car is fine. what could cause this to happen?
i never had a toe any where near this, and its just on one side. i never hit a curb or anything.

i dont have a print out since their printer was all jammed full of paper.

car is barley pulling to the left. it started doing this after i raised it up. so i still dont know how the hell this could happen.

How have you not seen Office Space?

To the OP:

Try taking it to another alignment shop. I'd see if you could get your money back for the first shop, no way in HELL that your toe should be 7 degrees out unless you bent something.

So what did you do? You had to have bent something, for your rear toe to be out 7 degrees. This is not something that will just "happen" ...

Well, something had to have happened to your suspension that caused force. It doesn't just go 7 degrees out.

7 degrees is A LOT. it should be quite noticeable by eye if it's out by that much. take it to another shop and have them do a quick check.

could a torn rear trailing arm bushing cause this?
how can you tell if the rear trailing arm bushing is messed up? it looks like the other side?
