Rear Toe out of range - Non adjustable? Problem?

[bus_ter]

I've recently had a four wheel alignment done (Smart Roadster RWD)

The printout shows the Left Rear Toe to be out of range. There is no adjustment for rear Toe.

Left Tow shows as (+0°16') the variance is (+0°03' +/- 0°06'). This makes it nearly double the limit. The right Toe shows as (+0°07') and all other alignment, Caster, Camber, etc on all 4 wheels is ok.

The car seems to drive straight with no steering pull.

Is this a problem I need to look at? Is there anything I can do about it? I've heard certain non adjustable alignments can be 'adjusted' with special brushes and things.

Thanks for any advice.

Does the car have standard wheels/tyres as this will affect what figures are obtained .
Ride height can have a large affect . My estate has self levelling rear suspension, with new boots it was measured without the engine running and it appeared to be way out, when running the engine all's well :thumbsup:.

tbh if the car runs fine and the tyre wear is even then I wouldn't bother pursuing this any more on a family hack myself.

Yes Original wheels, the tyres have just been replaced for Goodyear Eagle F1's from the original economy tyres.

The car seems to drive fine. I guess I'll just keep an eye on tyre wear.

I just wanted my mind put at rest it wouldn't cause any serious problems.

Worst case scenario somebody has drifted it into the curb and bent something.

But look at the numbers. You're only 7 minutes outside the spec, thats around 0.1 degrees which is a flipping tiny amount. That's barely measurable and if you get it checked somewhere else you'll probably find it's out the other way. If it was enough to matter it would result in handling and/or tyre wear problems, which you say it isn't. So to answer your question: no, IMO not a problem.
