Really hope someone can help. 

Changed balljoints and complete tie rods at the front. Went for an alignment and the bloke said we can do the rears so i said crack on. 

5 minutes laters he broke the eccentric bolt. New arm and bolt fitted. 

I was watching the whole time and now he cant get the toes in spec on both rears. The best they would come down to was 1.8 which was still red and out if spec. 

 

What can i do to get this sorted. I can see the wheels moving freely in and out when he turns the bolt but not enough to bring it in within spec 

 

I would go to a  Hunter specailist Align my Car

there is toe in and camber to be adjusted on rear

Also if its a 2012 you will find nearly all the bushes will be worn on rear supension

All bushes can be replaced individually rather than putting arms on

Also Also you can upgrade to Powerflex bushes and never replace again

The cambers are both within spec. Its the toes. It goes all the from 13 down to 1.8 then back to 13 once the bolt has been turned full 360

|Probably worn bushes if not going to spec

Get a Very large pry bar in about it

Rear and/or Front subframe misaligned, these guys with all the electronic gear often don't have a clue from what baseline to start the procedure.

 

What were the readings before he started breaking bolts and fitting new parts? It could be that the new arm is incorrect but without knowing what the pre adjustment readings were it's only a guess.

 

Editted, if neither rear will toe in enough then ignore my comment about subframe misalignment.

I do know from previous alignments that the off side that was broken was the side that was ok. They always mentioned near side as being out which funnily enough opened ok. 

I had gave it a good soaking a few days prior thinking they would only open that side. 

The off side was 1.2 before the nut busted. 

New arm from euros starline i think or optimal. They had an eccentric bolt from before. 

But now both sides out. On the new arm its moves freely in and out just not enough to come in to spec. The near side was tight to move but even that not in spec. Ive got some new springs on the way. Im gonna out them in and see what happens. Just changed the rear drop links as well. 

Camber was ok on both sides, although the nut for the adjustment looks like its completely rusted solid and a pig to get to.
