I have just done the front ball joints on my '86 944. Had the wheel allignment checked and discovered that the right rear wheel is toeing in by 4mm (5/32"). I am sure the car hasn't been in an accident but it explains the wanting to drift to the left.

How can I reset the right rear wheel back into line? Any Ideas?

I plan to post a picture soon.

Why dont you just have the shop do the alignment, only cost me $130 US to get all 4 wheels aligned because they were way off, took the guy 5 and a half hours.

I see your point of view. But I guess because of my racing experience I want to know what I am driving and also the challenge of learning more about my car and how it works.

Since my I posted this thread I have had a closer look at the rear suspension geometry. I believe the best way to align the rear wheel is to move the inner control arm pivot forwards by slotting and reinforcing the mounting bracket holes. I will get the wheel alignment shop to do the work, but I want to give the go ahead only when I understand the modifications that need to be made.

Thanks and appreciate your reply

isnt it you loosen certain bolts and adjust? Also i know that adjusting the toe changes the camber. Good luck whatever happens.
