Was checking alignment with a string and found that the driver rear wheel is toed in by about 1/16".
Correct me if I am wrong, rear alignment is not adjustable? How can I fix the rear toe in then?

The toe is usually adjustable.

Did you check the other side right, there may a light amount of toe-in on both sides to set the rear to front tracking in more firmly. I commonly do all my cars like that just a little, it makes them more surefooted.

I align all my stuff, they never see an aligning machine.

Affirmative: pass rear straight, driver rear toe in.
How would you align that? I don't mind a DIY, just want to be sure I know what I am doing.
God, I hate the splash guards getting in the way of a string at the axle height! But bending the guards in is not too hard, so the string test works fine in the end.
