There definitely is a rear wheel alignment adjustment, at least on my '86.  The Bentley manual describes it.

I took it once to a local shop.  They had no idea, but when I showed them the manual they were able to do with regular tools.   Now whether we had the right specification, that is another issue all together!!!

Subject: Syncro Alignment

Does anyone know how to tell if a syncro has the option for rear wheeel
allignment (ie tow adjustment).  People have been telling me that some
syncros have the option for rear whell and some don't.  I asked the dealer
if there was a model year difference or anything.  He just got mad and said
he can't tell without looking at it.  Another alignment guy said that there
might be a special tool needed to adjust the rear alignment if there was
one.
