Wheel alignment query, please advise

Got the 4 wheel alignment done.
Doesn't look normal at OSR, the toe is negative
Tyre place guys said, it's not much and they are unable to adjust it.
As per them it won't make much difference and it might be due to bend in control arm etc.
Adding the chart below, please have a look and advise what can be done.

Thanks

I had similar. New links on both sides enabled adjustment and brought it all into the green. Parts were supplied by Advanced Factors and fitted by the garage who do the alignment for me Thumbs Up
Get it done. It will handle better and not scrub tyres Big Cry 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

Thanks DrRob, it's bad on one side, do I have to change links on that side only or both.
Also, will you be able to list the parts needed, that will be helpful.

Thanks

Unless everything is completely seized, then they should be able to adjust it.

I do remember that many of the fast fit places have the 4 wheel machines but are reluctant to do anything more than toe..... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Don’t those fast fit centres have the special Hunter machines?. Somebody on the RRS site got his adjusted for a fee and he could go back multiple times (I’ll try and find the post). It was refreshingly a good tale for this chain.

Thanks guys, sending the car to my indy on Wednesday, will ask them to have a look and sort it out.

Btw, what are permissible values for toe at rear. Is it too far out to cause premature tyre wear.

Yes a lot of the fast fit places now have a Hunter. The quickfit in Derby has one..... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

From when we did mine earlier in the year.

Sort out camber before toe.

Your right rear needs to be a similar figure to your left rear ie -1.
Your toe should then get to 0 or just over positive but NOT negative.
