    As the right rear seem pretty out.
    I would definitely take it in. They won't rely on someone else's alignment findings...so the dealer will want to do their own. That's fine...let them find out the same thing.

    If the service advisor seems like they have never seen anything like this before in a Mirage, just have them call the Mitsubishi Tech Line. Those guys are aware of the problem for sure and they can tell your dealer all about it.

    Haven't driven in any real wind to tell
    Got the alignment check done at Dunn tire
    To see if it was ok before running imola wheels and adding hitch for bike rack.
    Looked bad so took to dealership for alignment to try to get rear axel fixed first.
    Now on theirs rear doesn't look so bad..
    ???? Idk????
    Anyways . Will probably throw back on imola wheels and hitch and see how it drives..

    Looks great, the rims make your Mirage look retro almost. As in unique and classic.

    I misunderstood. It looks like you have alignment printouts from two sources that show different values. One is OK, one isn't. You are in a tough spot. If that was my car, I'd take it to a third shop. If you don't feel like messing with it, just keep driving it and keep an eye on the rear tire wear. Changing wheels/tires won't affect your toe readings.

    Thanks, rims were not my first choice but only paid fifty for the rims
    Really light combo with the quatrac 5 vredestein
    Think i will just throw them on for a while and see how the car drives.
    Still gotta throw on the hitch. I think the alignment helped the front.. still confused by the back numbers.
    But the car doesn't drive bad and doesn't show strange tire ware I can see, but in fairness it's only got 8000 miles spread across stock enslave and wintermaxx tires.. now adding quatrac 5 vredestein To the mix also..

    I don’t get alignments done on these turds unless they eat tires faster than normal.
    Here’s a sheet for a 2015 with 458k Km/284k miles. They used a camber adjustment bolt on the rh side. The rear tires were wearing normally but the fronts not so much.
