<VV> Alignment Question

[Dave Keillor]

Rear toe and camber are adjustable and the adjustment points are easy to
see.  Don't take your car there again.

It must be Firestone people are idiots day.  I bought a set of new tires
for my wife's Alero yesterday at the local Firestone and asked them to
do an alignment.  They called and said the car had a serious safety
problem -- both outer tie rod ends were shot, there was an inch of play
in the front wheels, and it would cost only $280 to fix the problem.
Having recently driven the car and knowing the impossibility of having
that much play due to worn tie rod ends, I told them they were full of
__it and to get the car off the alignment rack without touching anything
else.  I checked the car at home and there is no play.

Subject: <VV> Alignment Question

Hi:
 
I have a 66 Corsa Convertible. I took it to get an alignment at a local

Firestone shop and they told me only the front gets aligned and that
according  to 
them the factory does not recommend any adjustments or alignment for the

rear. They also told me that rear does not get aligned because there
are no 
parts to adjust. 
 
I just want to make sure that they are correct and the rear does not get

aligned? If it does what gets adjusted and what are the settings?
 
Thanks,
