Hi all, had my front wishbone bushes replaced today, rear coil springs replaced last week, and just had the tracking checked and adjusted. The before and after printouts are shown below.

The front measurements are within the tolerences now, however I am slightly concerned with the rear toe figures. How significant will the incorrect toe be towards my tyre wear? I've been told that the rear axle is not adjustable on a VW Golf Mk4 FWD, so what should I do?

Looks similar to the result from my Octavia and yes they are correct in saying that it can't be adjusted (similar rear suspension on both cars)

You can get shims to correct the rear toe but that looks fine to me. My rear tyres wear evenly despite that.
 
Lets hope so. I had my rear tyres replaced last year and at the moment both have 777mm of tread left, so are wearing quite equally.

How about the rear thrust line which I've been reading about? From those results, are my rear and front wheels both pointing in the same direction?
