The only rear alignment I've heard of is when one prangs the rear wheels
when misjudging how far the curb is. And it will have be a pretty darned
hard prang. Probably one that eats the BBS wheels first.

My housemate did something like that to his SUV (Stupid Ugly Vehicle). Just
saw it at the Audi dealer. Owner of dealership is friends with housemate's
parents.

The SUV's right rear corner is supported by the right rear wheel. Nothing
uncommon, you say. Said wheel is lying flat on the ground under the rear
leaf spring keeping that end of the chassis off the mud. Think the caster
adjustment is a LITTLE off.
