Toe Out Toe in rear adjustment

I need to know if there is a rear toe adjustment or what can i do to adjust this. I have 1/2 degree toe out on the left rear. Its not much but noise in corners driving me nuts. I do not see any kind of adjustment so are there any parts I can buy that will allow me to adjust it. Thanks in advance.

If you just throw shims at it blindly, you may end up with worse alignment than you have now.

Let your alignment shop worry about that, they need to put it on the rack to get it right anyway.

Toe

I will leave it alone thanks. I took the car in for an alignment at firestone they said there is no way to adjust it. Thats why I thought someone here would know. If you think its fine I will leave it be. Thanks for the advise.

I lowered my car with Sportlines and the right rear was out of spec. Heard about putting in
a shim somewhere, but no buddy knows where to put it, I think I might know but it won't
fix my alingment problem. It was pulling pretty to the right not bad but was noticable.
After about 3 months now it has mellowed out. I was told that the springs will settle
in but that may be like the shims.

Your rear alignment was most likely out from the factory, sportlines would not cause your rear alignment to get messed up.

My car has .05 toe out on one wheel in the back and the entire rear end has a thrust angle of like 0.15 or something like that. Its from the factory, and technically its all within spec.
