Can the rear wheels be out of alignment on a 99 mustang?
I had new tires installed by Firestone on my 99 Cobra and a axle on the left rear where I had excessive wear on the tire. After the installation I was told they could not align the left rear because there was not adjustment available. They contacted Ford and told me the adjustment could only be done by Ford. Apparently from what I have read there is no adjustment to the rear on the Cobra and the front is suppose to be aligned to the rear. I am going to call Ford and get their take.

If you look under a full size pick up truck rear axle you will see a large gear box (typically referred to as a pumpkin) in the middle area of the axle. That is the gear box differential.
