Default rear toe adjustment. need answer quick.

On adjusting rear toe, to make it more positive, would you move the adjuster more to the outside of the car, or in towards the center of the car. Need answer very quick.

The reason why I ask, is I looked over my alignment sheet from the last time I got it aligned, and there is -.78 degrees of toe. I looked at my toe adjuster for that wheel, and it is maxed out to the inside of the car (all the way to the right, on the driverside, if your looking at it from the rear)

My one tire is pretty much fucked, so if they adjusted it wrong, I will say there techs are at fult, and they need to fix that tire.

so if it is all the way to the right, and I have negative toe, they did it wrong correct?

but If I needed postive, and they moved it all the way to the negative, wouldn't that be wrong. On the sheet, it says "before -.74, after -.78" this means that they added negative toe, when honda calls for +.04 degrees.

well, now that I have my answer, I am going to firestone, to yell at them, and maybe get discount tires out of it. My potenza s03's had a decent amount of tread before I went to them. Now they are just gone on the inside.
