Can't align rear tires?

[biz_kid1]

So, I went to get my tires aligned...got new tires last month and have about 29,500 miles on my cube.  I was told the rear tires can't be aligned.  I guess they're fixed and the camber can't be adjusted?  My back right wheel is bowing .64...so how can it be aligned now???

The camber for the rear can't be adjusted on alignment this is true because of the solid beam. If the cube is lowered by more than 2'' you'll be out the camber specs and yes, you'll have negative camber.

If you got too much neg camber because lowered more than 2'' on coilover, there is camber kits available.

So, in order to align the rear tires, I have to drop the back end???

No, maybe you didn't get correctly what I wrote. On stock height to a lowered height under 2'', camber and toe will remain into spec numbers. It's when you want the cube lower than 2'', you'll get neg camber and eventually get camber wear on the tires.

For all info on rear suspension, look at the pages of the cube fsm on this link. On page 6 in the first lines, it is written that camber, toe-in inclinations angles cannot be adjusted. On last page,13, you got all the number from minimum t maximum specs.
