Toe in fix (rear) - Accord

Is there any way to adjust toe-in on the rear of a lowered 93 accord? When i take it to have it alligned - the shop has said the rear toe-out is little too much.

Uh - OK that was really helpful

(paraphrased from my first reaction to this "tip" which contained profanity and an angry suggestion of how to self procreate)

I guess I should have been more clear in my question. The toe in is adusted as far "in" as the adjustment cams will go and is still toed out too much. Can someone recommend an aftermarket adjuster or other that might correct this?

I think you're meaning to say camber? Toe should NEVER get too far out of spec to fix, and is quite easy to fix at that. There is no real kit to fix bad toe, just camber kits, well not for Accords that I've seen for anyways.

No - I know the difference between camber, and toe adjustment. I mean toe. - but thanks anyway - Its a really small amount like .011 too much. I was just curious if there was a fix.

Ok, well not that I know of. I've never heard of toe getting that bad out of whack to where it's not fixable. Did you ever damage your suspension ever, hit a curb or anything? Or is your car lowered more than "3? If so, that's your answer, either raise it up some, or replace any parts that are damaged or bent.
