Rear end shifting??

Alright I went and got an alignment today for the first time since I put H&R's on. My buddy works there and he did it for me. The front end is set up good, but the back is not right. The rear axle is turned facing the driver side. It is still within the specified range but BARELY. The left toe is -.016 and the right toe is .36......Is there anyway to shift the rear axle to fix this since there are no adjustments for it???

You need to loosen the 3 mounting bolts on each side and move axle around.

Use an alignment rack.........


There really no way to get it "perfectly straight, its a production, there are tolerances for a reason, if its within spec and you dont have handling or tire wear issues leave it alone.
