Megane MEGANE 250 WHEEL ALIGNMENT ISSUES

I have just had my car aligned at my local tyre place, only to find that the drivers rear is out of line in toe by alot. The yoof checked it over & gave it the `don`t think i can do this as its obviously had a clout`. I told him to check the fronts anyway. After trawling the net, this seems to come up quite a bit with Clio`s & Megs being out on one side more than the other. It says on the sheet, Passenger side +1.3 & drivers side +4.6 partial toe.
This means nothing to me, apart from paranoia, & do i rush out & buy a new back beam,car or house?
If anyone can shed some light as to wether i need to be concerned, it would be appreciated.:help.gif:
 
Can be fixed with camber/toe shims, available from amongst others KTec, basically they're a thin wedge shape shim in 1deg increments that slot in your rear hub and depending on the direction they're inserted will either affect toe or camber or both. Very few factory cars have equal rear toe or camber out the box
 
Thanks, i did have a look on Pure Motorsport at a few of these. I was just wondering if this was a common problem/issue. Car drives fine, but i will get it checked & set up correctly as my KW Clubsports could do with setting up properly.
