Rear left hand side???? um i think it would be the front. i have not heard of any real problem but most times poeple just fit camber bolts in the front to help with the wheel alighnment.

The camber bolts won't solve this problem. They are only needed on higher lifts.

The problem is the toe-in which just needs adjusting and any competent wheel alignment place should be able to do it no time. I don't know where the issue of the rear is coming in to it? It has nothing to do with the-toe in

the toe shouldn't make it pull at all. if both the front castor angles are very similar, then you could try swapping the two front tyres side to side and see if it makes any difference...
withh that much toe out though, it will scrub them out in no time - get it adjusted asap!

from what ive bee told they are at there peek adjustment?like i said im not technically minded,i have been to 2 workshope and they both say similar things,the rear pasanger wheel is kicking out 10 mm to the curb side.
so could this be a bent diff housing?this is all ive been able to source from any similar type posts anywere?
yes tell me about the ware thats my concern.
:crazy:

G'day mate. As we discussed on the phone, you need to get a wheel aligmnment done by a competent workshop, your average franchised tyre outlet won't do a good job on (mildly) modified 4wd. You've already said the mob your using adjusted only one side of the steering and then said youve run out of adjustment- take that as a proof they're incapable/ lazy and go somewhere else.
At that height you will need camber bolts. Don't elongate the holes- it's a hokey solution.

The rear has deffinetly got some issues, either it's been in smash (like a big curb slap) or it's a had a very hard life. Assuming the car is level, for the rear diff to be offset that much it can only be;
-bent housing
-bent chassis
or
-rear lower radius arms damaged/bent or one bush is badly shot.
A decent wheel alignment joint ( we use truck align) will be able to diagnose this accuratly and quickly. Anything else is really just a guess and will cost you more in the long run.
