Tracking adjustment on Rear - Avant

[Celtic Cousin]

Noticed that the handling on the rear end had started to feel a little "strange" and the rear tyres had started to wear on the outer edges. (there was also feathering on the tyres) so decided to take the car to my local tyre specialist, they were able to confirm that the wheels were toeing in by 5.0 mm but hadn't the faintest idea of how to make any adjustments – but were good enough not to make a charge.

Asked my local dealer for a price to check the geometry but decided to leave it (£221.00)!!.

I have a copy of ElsaWin but although I can find the settings I am unable to find how to adjust them.

Any help gratefully received

What area are you in? Maybe someone could advise a good cheaper option than a main dealer. M

A google turned up these guys:

As regard the rear alignment, if it is not bent then all that can be done is to loosen the assembly and move it to equalise the toe.

Thanks all sorted now - transformed the handling
