Long time looker, first time poster. Thanks for all the valuable info so far.

Just got my car back from the repair shop after someone hit my car (first time parallel Parker instead parked into the side of my fiat 500)

Got the alignment report. Front was corrected, but rear is off. It is my understanding that the rear can not be adjusted without a shim kit, and those have mixed reviews.

Below is a screenshot of the rear alignment. Should I be concerned? Is there anything I can do besides a shim kit or are these numbers not as bad as I think? It's a 2016 Fiat 500 easy- don't have the manufacturer specs on me.

You need a shim kit.

500 easy, so is it a Euro spec car? Kind of doesn't matter, but the rear alignment were pretty all over the place from the factory. The only one that looks bad is the rear right toe. Is it bad enough to worry? Mmmmmm, depends on how anal you are. It's really not that horrible.

Thanks J.B. ! It’s a US model. I’ll consider the shim kit. I live in Philly so we blow through tires like crazy with 10,000 potholes so tires usually don’t have time to prematurely wear if it’s not that bad hahaha
