Default 1993 Honda Del Sol Si 1.6L || Rear Toe Adjustment

Good Afternoon Team!

Beginning of FEB 2016 i bought new tires.
End of FEB 2016 I got an alignment.
Here are my alignment results.



1st question, does rear toe adjustment not come with an alignment?
Due to the issue seen on my alignment results above, my new tires i bought at the beginning of FEB 2016 have worn smooth on the outsides of the rear tires and are beginning to destroy the tires.



I read in my manual, "At the rear, the toe is adjusted by moving the rear lower arm, in or out, within it's bracket on the body."
I saw a video on that too, but i'm not seeing that sort of connection on my Del Sol. Maybe not looking in the right place?
Again, I'm looking for some help on adjusting my "rear toes".
The next picture is my rear right-side with the tire removed. I also research it could be a nut that i turn to simply adjust the toe-in or out.
I think i'm to turn one of the circled nuts to adjust the toe??



Comments and thoughts on Rear Toe Adjusting please.

Thank You in advance!

Hey all,

I believe this picture i found, eliminates 2 of the 3 circled nuts in the picture seen in my original post above.


Pertaining to that picture with the 3 circles, i will be attempting to adjust with the nut circled in RED.
Since i have tire-wear on the outside part of my tires, i need to push the arm out. This will level out the tire.
I believe this is the concept, we'll see.

So as it turns out, thru further research of this, and believe me, there is not much, I found the appropriate Nut for Rear Toe Adjusting.
They were none of the nuts shown in the above posts.
I noticed the correct nut after continually wondering how my manual could be so far off as to what it was describing. I knew i had to be looking in the wrong place. So yes, i believe we have found the correct nut for the job.



Just lubed it up real well, about to start cranking on it.
Ok, so i suppose the concept is get the tire to Toe a bit more out so to speak, so the outside of the tires are not being chewed up, and we need to get more of the road evenly distributed onto the tire.

Will update.
Thanks again.

That's a bolt, and you loosen it then adjust it with a pry bar.

If you payed for a 4 wheel alignment, then take it back and ask them to do it. If not, ask if you can pay for the extra service. Its not really something you should do yourself.

Thank You JarvisW,

Ironically i have gotten ahold of the company who did my alignment and have requested that they complete the rear toe adjustment. I have an appointment.

Thank again!
