Alignment Problem

Just had my '06 SS/SC lowered last week w/Eibach Sport lines. AT the time the shop
could not get the rear wheels into speck, front are fine. They said bring it in after a few days ket the springs "settle in" and then they'll check it again. They did so and it's still
and the right rear is toed in. They say there is no adjustment. Has anyone had this problem and if so were you able to correct it? Thanks

there is a way to adjust the rear it uses shims behind the hub that is the adjustment or if it is so small of it being in green then you could just maybe shift the beam back there do you have the print out sheet

was the 518 just for the spings installed and alignment

Thanks for the input, I'll look into that the sheet says -.03 in the red

The 518 was for the springs installed and all the alignment checks before the intsall,
after and the re-check.

that's pretty good. Thanks. I know it's not going to be exact for my car, but gives me a general idea.
