Default Rear Toe Adjustment Stuck

I just got the car back from an alignment yesterday and the guy said that the right rear toe couldn't be adjusted and more. It started at -.34 deg. and he could only get it to -.23 degrees. (factory specs are -.08 to .08) Has anyone run into this problem?

Thanks,

Adam

How much camber are you running? If you have a lot of neg camber, it reduces the amount of toe-in you can get.

Has the rear ride height been adjusted? I havent played with with this myself, but according to Redline Man, here on rennlist, if the spring plates are bottomed out, that can reduce the amount of toe adjustment.

Me, knowing very little, would think that the uni body is bent.

I had the same problem on my 86 951. The shop suspected the car has been wrecked. This is true. The PO mentioned it, I can see scrapes on the underside, and some rim damage(that I have since had repaired) . The shop got it close enough and I'm just running it. I can feel no difference in the ride. Its odd that it is the rear right also.

Hey, you are from Urbana, Ill...I grew up there!

I'm just running the stock alignment settings, so there must be something broken or too rusty.

Randy... I'm from Urbana, grew up here and just finished school at the U of I. That's cool another guy from Urbana is on here.
