alignment- could someone shed some light...

...on my alignment. they (grismer tire) couldnt adjust the rear toe because they didnt have the proper tool to do so. so, with these numbers, should i go somewhere else and have the rear toe adjusted or will it be fine as it is?

You don't need a special tool....There is one, but I don't use it because it is a PITA. All you have to do is to loosen up the 3 16mm bolts and use a prybar to move the control arm....And yes, those toe numbers are extreme. You need to have it readjusted.

BTW, the toe numbers for the front are not in factory specs either. The correct specs for front toe are: .09 plus or minus .03, so it should be anywhere from .06 to .12.
