Wheel Alignment Toe Trouble

[Sinturion]

Just came back from the alignment shop - the poor guys spent 2 1/2 hours trying to get my rear left wheel toe corrected on my r32. Currently it sits about 5-6mm too far in at full adjustment. I recently swapped out my hicas subframe for a non-hicas one. The subframe looked to be fine - no visible damage or bending. I was wondering if anyone has had a problem like this before? perhaps I haven't put the subframe in straight or so? or maybe even mounted a shock/swaybar/arm incorrectly?

Would there be any consequence if I just cut the slots where the toe bolt goes through a bit longer? or should i shell out for some adjustable toe rods?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

How low is the car? The stock cam adjustment doesn't have a very big range just like the stock camber adjustment so it's hard to get the alignment right when lowered.

If this is the case, you will have to buy adjustable toe arms.

Car is still on stock springs. Camber adjustment is fine - just too much toe in.

cradle is proably bent, very common.

I figured it out today.

Apparently my drum handbrake pads were adjusted too loose and my hand brake lever cable waaaay too tight which caused it to pull to one side - who would have thought?

Boy, I feel like an idiot
