Just got an alignment ...

[Thoughtful_One]

I hit a curb last year; the right side of suspension was demolished along with rack. The rear toe is really out of wack. The left rear is .3in and the rear right is -.21, when the acceptable range is .01-.11in. I know toe adjustment parts are available, but will someone like Sears adjust those parts or is a visit to a race shop necessary? How much will it cost?

Your rear toe arms have adjustment bolts that connect them to the subframe. If those won't get you within specs then you need to get adjustable tow arms.

Might want to check around your local shops. I got lifetime alignments from Firestone/wheelworks for about 160 or so. I just have them take the measurements and I do some adjustments and take it back for measurements. Ha ha ha. Might be a good idea if you've also got stock or near stock suspension.

I'm getting the lifetime alignment deal from Firestone too after I put new tires on. Seems like it's worth it to me. Do you know if they charge extra for modified suspension?

It's well worth it. Depends on the modifications. I've got coilovers and they still take me without a problem. I ask them to leave my camber settings alone though. They do that without too much of a problem. If you've got modified arms, it depends on the firestone/wheelworks. The one I go to, they're pretty cool about the easier time they've got working on aftermarket links on the car so they don't freak about and charge me up the butt for it. But it'll depend from shop to shop. You should ask about that before commiting to the lifetime alignment.
