I'm new to the form and looking for some alignment help.
My 2010 Corolla LE has developed a wobble in the rear that can only be felt by back seat passengers. I took it to Toyota and they ran an alignment test which showed the rear right side was right in spec but the rear left Toe was -0.16 inch which is severely out of spec (+0.01in to +0.13in). Camber on that side is fine.
The alignment tech said I had a bent axle but was vague when I asked where the damaged portion of the axle is. The axle beam is nice and straight with no signs of damage, the paint on it looks as black and shiny as the day it left the factory.
Can anyone shed light on what is actually "bent"? I'm a DIY guy and have done extensive wrenching on my 18 year old Grand Cherokee but the Corolla suspension is completely new to me so I'm looking for advice on what exactly is wrong and the best way to fix it. As always $$$$ is an issue but I want things done correctly.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Marcel
