Rear Toe Adjustment
Does anyone have any idea what the tool for adjusting the rear wheel alignment looks like. I assume it fits between the to raised grooves in the knuckle bracket.

The local place used something similar to a tuning fork but with shorter legs when they did mine. They fitted it to the holes in the trailing arm.

Autodata show an illustration of a tool 64.021 which looks like an elliptical tube.
Sorry I couldn't find any further reference, other than an expired eBay advert in Germany. Alf |

I believe there are other 'unofficial' tools that are used. I've used a rubber mallet. TC |

How is the tool used? macafee2 |

Looking at the photograph, I'd say the one of the bolts where the two raised grooved are located on the plate, is removed and replaced with a stud, the tool located over that, and then with the other bolts slackened, the plate can be moved in a controlled fashion with a t bar or similar turning the cam of the tool. |

Rear Toe Adjustment
Thanks for the photo of the official tool. I asked because I have all the suspension off for a rebuild with new links and wondered if I could make a tool. Whenever I have had the alignment done in the past I think they use the 'hammer' method which I guess makes it difficult to get the adjustment spot on.
