Default Rear Alignment

Can the rear of a 2000 C70 coupe be aligned? The rear end is out of spec on rear camber and the shop is looking into whether it can be aligned or perhaps the rear axles are bent. Thoughts?

ha good luck bro. the rear of the c70 only has an adjustment for toe and not much adjustment! the whole rear set-up is retarded, look under there when you get your alighnment done. the only way it looks like you can make camber adjustments is if you remove the hubs, add some washers and re-install the hubs. which will be alot of work and cost alot if you don't get it right the first time.

I'm not sure what costs a lot means any more. I replaced the spring pads so I needed an alignment. I needed new tires too so perfect timing. Well it turns out I had bad rims so I've got $400 in tires, $400 in new rims and my $250 install and alignment is up to $1,500 due to new tie rod ends, brakes and rear alignment. I'm spending it like I have it!

Update: They loosened the bolts and there was enough play in the system to get the rear back into spec. The bill was less than the $1,500 estimate and the car handles and stops like a dream. Forward progress is being made!
