Toe adjustment
Went to a local shop a while back to get an alignment. And here are my results:
Left Front: Right Front:
-1.5 Camber -1.8 Camber
1/32" Toe 1/32" Toe
Left Rear: Right Rear:
-.07 Camber -1.8 Camber
-1/8" Toe -1 1/16 Toe
Mechanic said he could not adjust the toe anymore. Can anyone tell me why the toe cant be fixed? And i know its bad to ride with this, its gona eat my tires.

Re: Toe adjustment
did you make sure that your end links and tie rods are good? A lot of times if you have play in your toe angle or steering wheel vibrations, etc. its due to bad/worn tie rods.

Re: Toe adjustment
it's unethical to even do an alignment with worn components.
also, please specify if you mean toe in or out. since machines can rear minus as toe out OR toe in depending on where it's done.
btw, did you type the right rear correctly?> that would basically make your tire tilted having over one inch of toe, you couldn't really drive down the road
if you mean you're 1/32nd out up front, that's great, basically a great street setting
out back. 1/8th in is a little much on the left and the right is just nuts. i'm guessing you would like something around 1/32nd in out back as well

Re: Toe adjustment
i dont have any vibrations or play in the wheel. Im not sure if its in/out just typing from the paper they printed me.
Front: Cross camber 0.3
Front Total Toe: 1/32"
Rear Total Toe: -1 5/32
Thrust Angle 0.94
Hope that helps somewhat. And yes i typed it all correct.

Re: Toe adjustment
ok cool, and is there anyway to really check the bushing? without having to take alot of parts out? Replacement bushings? I couldnt find any part number on acuraoemparts.com

Re: Toe adjustment
you should see something. over 1" in out back should have your tire pointed in toward the car HARD. i suspect something broken or worn out since the mechanic said he could not adjust anymore. then again, 1/8th on the left is still a bit much. basically jack up the rear and wiggle and move everything. you either have a bent suspension component, worn out bushings or ? i would call and ask this guy why he couldn't align it. he may have noticed just what we are trying to figure out.

Re: Toe adjustment
the rear trailing arm is probably bent and run out of adjustment.
thats a huge amount of toe in the rear. its definitely bent.
the fronts are just fine.
