Possible to correct toe?

Is it? My alignment spec sheet says I'm out of spec in toe on all four wheels. Can I get it fixed?

I've never seen a car where you CAN'T, it's actually pretty easy to do unless the parts are frozen

yup, from what ive seen, when the car is on the alignment rack, the monitor shows the tech what wheel and how much it needs to be adjusted, and they adjust it.

Toe is extremely important to adjust properly. It will eat your tires out quickly if its off!

Yeah, learning the hard way.

I guess the shop never corrected the toe then.

So what did the shop do, put it up on the rack, set the sensors on the wheels, and print out your current alignment specs? If thats the case, you shouldve had them set the alignments to spec.
