    Hi all!

    I recently did a wheel alignment on my 08 Prius after replacing rear struts. My repair shop corrected front, but did nothing on the rear, since they didn’t have shims available.
    They also told me that they will charge extra for that work. I didn’t ask how much.

    My right rear toe is 0.31.
    Pls. See pics attached.
    What’s your opinion? Should this be corrected or I can leave as it is?

    Looking forward to what others have to say about this... Do you have signs of uneven tire wear already? Or just trying to get better numbers to prevent that?

    How do you adjust it with shims? At least you know how far it’s off. That should help to know what size shim to use
