How to correct Rear Toe Out

[tsp]

Hi all.

Recently purchased a 1982 mini. However the car isn't tracking perfectly true. On further inspection I noticed that one rear wheel appears to have toe in and the other appears to have toe out. This is causing the car to crab ever so slightly. I haven't had chance to get the car on an alignment rig so I can't accurately tell the severity of the problem. And from what I can see there is no adjustments for toe on the rear wheels.

I'm new to mini's so any help on how I could fix the problem would be appreciated. Is there anything I can adjust ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the feedback. After reading all your comments I went back and looked at the sub frame again more closely. It looks like someone has jacked the car in the wrong place at some point, on the rear portion of the subframe where the metal is thinnest. I believe this has slightly deformed the subframe, how ever it is only very slight.

Next step is going to be seeing if we can correct the sub frame. I have also found some adjustable radius arm brackets from KAD which I think would be worth purchasing as they also allow camber adjustment so I could get a really nice geometry set up on the car.

Thanks for your help.
