WTF? Can't align the rear, according to Goodyear tech?

Err.... I went in to do my alignment today, and the tech said my rear toe was off but he said he can't align it because there's no adjustment! WTF? Is he just an idiot? How did you guys get rear alignments after dropping?

it's been posted before, but you will need to take apart the drum
brakes and add shims in order to adjust the toe and camber on the
rear.

there is no easy external adjustment. i got severe toe-in on the rear
from dropping the car, but i dont really care. .20 and .21 for a
total 0.41. car tracks straight. ill just rotate the tires more often.
camber is -1.7 on both sides.

My car tracks straight too, but I'll try to find an alignment specialist shop in the area to get the alignment fixed. The RT-615's i'm riding on have poor enough treadwear as it is.

BTW.. RT-615's in the winter = horrible idea. Don't do it. But of course everyone already knew that except for me.

Adjustable by shimming the bolts behind the spindle plate. We do it all the time but its expensive!. The hub and drum brake unit has to come off.
