image.jpeg Hi, I was checking my wheels today, here is what I've got after inspection. It's only for rear wheels, cause front seems to be ok. Is it very bad?
 
I don't know about your wheel alignment, but I've rotated your image to make it easier for other people to see :)

It's almost spot-on, but if your R4 is a late model (post-78, I think) you can adjust camber to equalise that minor difference you have between left and right.
 
Yea, I know. At first (after repair) it was very bad and my tyres wored down quickly. So I did an alignment by myself. The problem is that I tried a few services and garages and asked them to do an alignment to make it perfect, but they refused and said that nothing can be done. But it's also possible that they were too lazy to try, cause it's better to do an alignment for five Audi 100, than one Renault 4 (if you know what I mean).
 
It's not that hard, but it seems that most mechanics think that the rear arms are fixed, and any necessary alignment work involves pressing, straightening etc.
