Hi all, I just got my car alligned after replacing front end components. 2000 Jetta TDI. Everything in the front is okay, but I will post the results anyway because I don't like my caster on the front right. Anyway, the rear seems to be at the limits of acceptable. They told me there was no adjustment for it except moving the rear axel, which would take my good wheel out. You can visualy see the toe on the left rear. Anyway, here is what I have.
Front left: -.5 camber; 7.9 caster; 0.03 toe
Front right: -.5 camber; 8.3 caster; -0.01 toe
Total Toe 0.2
Steer Ahead 0.02
Left rear: -2.6 camber; 0.32 toe:eek: ;
Right rear: -1.7 camber; 0.12 toe
Total Toe 0.44
Thrust angle .10
All units are Degrees.
Does this look okay. The tech told me I should rotate my tires often because of the left rear, but then offered no adjustment or wear item which needed replacement. Thanks in advance for any help you guys might have to offer.

Thanks for the link, I will check in to those shims and go see if it can get closer. You should head over to the Ko Olina and make me jealous. You can do anything over there and make me jealous.

Are the rear bushings in good shape? I replaced mine and then had an aliment done and the guy was surprised that it was perfect.
