Subject:? Can the rear wheels be aligned for an 88?
From:Robert Stewart

Hello everyone,

Been gone for a while. I have an 88 Wolfsburg edition weekender automatic.

I hit a pothole recently and it threw off the steering which made it start pulling to the right. I had the front end aligned at Midas or so they say they did it. It is still pulling with a slight drift. I was told that the computer set the front properly but the right rear can not be aligned as he says its missing some components. Which made no sense to me.

He is telling me it will need  to be shimmed and needs a special kit. Can someone explain what is going on? He said the right real wheel it pitching inward slightly toward the engine which is what is creating the slow pull. Could he be right?

Thanks,
Robert
