Hi,

Just had an alignment done on my non-sport mk2 1.4 16v.
My concern is the toe setting on the rear axle, 0 32' on the left and -0 43' on the right.

Should i install some shims? or just leave it as is? I'm worried about the tire wear and driving characteristics, although i never really felt abnormalities when driving.

I would guess it wouldn't make a massive difference in tyre wear. Handling, maybe?

Do these have stub axles behind the drum brakes? If you have the tools, a bit of patience and a driveway or garage to work on/in you might as well for the price of a pair of shims.

@Brigsy did you adjust the alignment on your mk2 diesels?
