You could get spacers at almost any parts store and lift up the rear, or cut a spring in the front to put that one back down, or try to find a new spring.

The rear can be aligned, but not like the front.

What they refer to in a RWD solid axel vehicle's 4 wheel alignment is called a Thrust Angle Alignment. Just a fancy way of saying that we align your front wheels to match you back's angle. If the rear hardly points straight perfectly, it is usually a little off. When it gets bad, it is refered to as "dogtracking" because the car might steer straight, but it is actually at an angle. There is a way to correct toe, but it's beyond what normally is done. It consist of heating the axel tube on one side and then cooling it quickly, which will cause shrinkage on the one side altering the angle. Never done this, but have heard of it done.


OT: Some people need to chill out.
