Welp, I think it turned out good... is the total toe for the front too much and worth adjusting?
Rear axle replaced under warranty; new axle within specs
Rear axle replaced under warranty; alignment is still off
Waiting for warranty replacement axle
Axle temporarily or permanently aligned with DIY fix
Rear alignment inspected & deemed within specs by dealer
Welp, I think it turned out good... is the total toe for the front too much and worth adjusting?
The front total toe is worth watching. If you see any signs of excess wear on the outside of the front tires, I would have it set to close to 0 total toe, since it is easily adjustable.
Although the left rear is 0 with a minimum of .03, I would not worry about that at all. In fact I would prefer the 0 myself. Best looking rear axle specs I have seen so far.

Littlestan wow! If they didn't accidentally bump the heads mounted on the wheels,I want your rear axle! That's about as perfect as one can get! (adjustable or not).
And yes I would pull those front tires in a little bit from the edge of negative toe specs. Other than that,awesome!
Old mechanic: The specs are NEGATIVE 0.3 to 0.28 so zero is within. I would like that too!

Wow, that's perfect. I'm currently at a dealer now, so I'll let you guys know what they say.

Took my 2015 Mirage ES with CVT into www.missionmitsubishi.com here in San Antonio. Had routine oil change and tire rotation done. Further, I had wheel alignment checked; copy of alignment check attached. Technician said front was out of alignment a bit and was corrected. Rear was significant, and he stated rear cannot be aligned. He stated he will call technician hot line to see what can be done. I mentioned to him some forum members reported rear axles have been replaced by Mitsubishi. Anyhow, now I have something to follow up on in the next few weeks. I am not technically proficient enough to understand the alignment report; but at least it is documented in this forum.

Alright, just got back home from the dealer. They did send in a report to Techline, but didn't actually give me copies of any of the paperwork. Here's the printout from when I checked mine at my work. Ignore the "before" measurements, those are from the last vehicle on the rack. I didn't fully reset the machine for this, since I was just checking the angles and not actually aligning it.

Given this is a hot topic, I too went to have my new purchase checked today. Unfortunately I don't have the results to share as the garage's printer was out of ink and I didn't think to take a picture of the screen when the technician showed me, but the rear of my car is unaffected by the toe issue. It'd be interesting to see if the same is true of other RHD Mirages.

Just checked my tires today. Back two are wearing more on the outside than inside...
BUT i have only 20k on those set as i run dedicated winters...
Maybe have to send it in...the thought scares me as i havent had the best luck with mitsubishi service.
I have included my alignment can someone tell me how mine stacks up? I think my toe is out slightly. Not much. But JUST out of range.
