Alignment Query
After replacing both the tie rods of my Mk1 Golf GTi, I took the car to have the wheel alignment checked.
The front wheels were adjusted to spec, however the rear left wheel toe is still out.
The tyre centre advised that the rear wheels are not adjustable and in fixed position. He said not to worry too much about it.
Could this be because the rear axle beam is slightly bent or could it be the stub axle?
Any feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks.

I have not noticed much wear on the tyre yet as I don't drive the car much. Will see how the tyre wears. If excessive then may look into replacing the stub axle.
Guess the only way to check if the stub axle if bent is using a clock.
Thanks

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
