Default AR alignment question

my 2003 allroad is at an indy mechanic right now who is saying that the rear wheel alignment on my AR is off, but that the alignment CANNOT be adjusted in the rear. I called another indy mechanic that I used to use, but is further away, and they disagreed and said it's possible to adjust.

can anyone else verify? I find it hard to believe that the alignment cannot be adjusted on the rear of my car.

Thanks in advance,
David

Absolutely CAN be done - I watched a guy do mine a couple of weeks ago and it made a big difference too.

+1 on Mick's reply. There are alignment bolts in the rear swing arm (where the lower end of the shock bolts up). The bolts that hold the swing arm to the hub are alignment bolts.

Both rear toe and camber are adjustable; I know this because I've adjusted them on my garage floor (using a Smart Strings toe kit and a digital camber gauge from Smartracing).
