I finally had a four wheel track done on Friday. I'm now in birmingham and the journey down was amazing, it's like a new car It feels so smooth and planted at speed now made sure the toe-in was 1mm each side too

the rear wheels (AFAIK) are not adjustable, but when peering at my car with Alan he mentioned a part/mount than can be changed....
searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale

Rear Beam is a fixed part so as long as rear Beam Bushes are ok and stub axle and the Rear beam are all ok (not bent)
You will find that it will follow the front.
We have the Laser 4wheel tracking system which is very accurate. But there are a lot more settings on cars tracking which play an important part.
There are more settings than Toe In and Toe Out
1. Toe In / Toe Out (basic setting)
2. Camber (can be adjusted by moving main frame somtimes).
3. Castor (not adjustable)
4. KPI (Not adjustable)
5. Wheel Set Back
6. Most important get the Steering Wheel straight
When weight is added to your car this will alter the settings.

Alan, how much for a 4 wheel alignment (toe and camber, front and rear) for my ATR?
It amazes me how few people take alignment seriously- you can spend £1000s uprating suspension but it won't be right if the wheels aren't pointing in the right direction, ESPECIALLY the steering wheel...
