After not being able to get a full alignment last week as the bolts for the toe links were seized in the bushes I replaced them this weekend.
Went for a wheel alignment today and they weren't able to get enough adjustment on the left rear to bring it back into zone. It's currently sitting at this (bottom results are the final readings):

So after trying to think why it wouldn't adjust enough I couldn't come up with any suggestions. Unless the link was the wrong size (pretty sure it isn't).
Anyway driving away, the car tells me that I'm going too fast and the suspension will need to lower. So I'm now thinking that the suspension wasn't at the standard ride height and may have been in off road mode.
Pretty sure I checked to start with, but I may have knocked the button (or they might) just before the geo.
Whilst a raised suspension height will no doubt make the alignment out, would it put it out that much to make it unadjustable. Particularly as the other wheel was ok?
I'll take it back tomorrow and get them to have a look anyway. Current cars:
