here is a picture of my rear wheel. Looks to be very toed in.. Doesn't seem to be wearing tires unevenly however? Am I blind ? Does the body lines make the rear wheels look toed in a bit? What could be causing the toe in if it is in fact an alignment problem? Help please

I can just imagine the insurance conversation now....

Assessor - So why did you crash?

Insured - I went around a corner and my rear end just stepped out and hit that other car - I don't know why, maybe my alignment wasn't right after all.

Assessor - Why would you suspect alignment?

Insured - Well, I thought I had a wheel alignment issue, and so I asked people on the Internet after I took a photo of my car for them to review.

Assessor - And what did the people on the Internet say?

Insured - There was lots of debate and some folks felt I should get a professional alignment to be sure, but instead some random guy said it looked fine and not to worry. So I thought that sounded good and I didn't bother.

Assessor - And how did that work out?

Insured - Yeah, not so good I guess.....

OP,

1- go and get some string.
2- if you cant work the rest out I suggest a professional wheel alignment.

*2 for string. :wink: Consult Dr Google then see an alignment specialist. Heaps of them recommended and not recommended on this forum.

A solid knock can cause one of the lower rear control arm adjusting bolts to slip. Changed toe is the most obvious symptom.

However, how well does you car turn into a corner as toe-in toe-in enhances straight-line stability.
