Rear Alignment advice: bad toe. fix kit? Likely causes? (Photo/numbers included. ‘15 V)

Short version:

• 80k mi 2015 V Three
• Dealership did alignment
• Right rear toe is 0.38 (should be -0.03 to 0.26. Left is 0.16)
• “We can’t adjust the rear toe”
• I think fix kits are available? What should I get & how should I set it up
• I haven’t done much suspension work, but I’m comfortable with doing repairs generally

Longer version: I bought this 2015 Prius V in March with about 75k miles - from a dealer in COnnecticut, but not Certified. (Let’s avoid the debate on the wisdom there - its a long story partially driven by desperate need). It had always seemed to be off in terms of alignment, pulling to the right. I took it to a dealer here in Maine to get the state inspection sticker & alignment done, at about 80,000 miles.

They aligned most of the wheels, but couldn’t do anything about the Right Rear Toe. From reading these forums, it seems like this is a fairly common issue (much like my satellite radio woes & occasional loud start - no need to discuss those now). And, yes, it does still seem to be pulling right - not as badly, but it still feels off. If I understand correctly, my options are:

• Get a new “axle” (? I wasn’t aware the rear wheels had something by that name, but, I’m guessing it’s whatever the hub/bearing attach to which also attaches to the various suspension stuff?)
• Get a toe “fix kit,” which I think uses shims to bring the wheel back into alignment?

I’m comfortable wrenching on my cars, and fortunately I do have a “backup vehicle” to drive if I have this one out of commission for a bit.

Should I try to get a fix/shim kit? If so, what’s the general procedure? Can folks offer tips based on the alignment info I’ve included below? Or, is there a “proper” fix? If so, what can I expect to pay for that?

I know some of these questions are answered all over these forums, but I figured my specific alignment measurements might help provide some context to help with figuring out the best approach, and possibly even shim measurements.

Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance to anyone who might take the time to help!



Oh, yes. Also, HI! Been a reader for a bit when helping friends with their Prius questions, but this is Early Times for me posting here.

 

Do you/does anyone have suggestions for a shim kit?
