Is the rear suspension of Freelander 2 adjustable? I have just had the First Service performed which was routine,a computerised wheel alignment was performed as part of the service which revealed that rear suspension was just out of spec. I am happy the way the car steers which seems normal however a quick glance of rear suspension by myself failed to reveal any obvious adjustability.I would welcome any imput relating to this. Cheers,bobh.

As far as I'm aware there is no adjustment to the rear suspension for alignment etc. If there is a reading that's deviated away from the norm then I would suspect 'worn bushings/joints' on the suspension linkage, or a wheel may have been kerbed.

Had my rear wheels balanced the other day and was talking about alighnment with the fitter, he reckons on the rear end alignment being adjustable but he couldn't do it, dealer only because of the way it is fitted? Not that I have a problem just one of the topics that came up.

Didn't NP have this done a few weeks ago

No matter the axle, you can adjust only the toe.
The front toe is adjusted, like on many other cars, from the tie rods.
For the rear axle toe, the inner bolts/nuts of the rear lower arms have adjusting mounts.

Thanks everyone, especially Alex.Freelander has only done 16k. kilometres on good blacktop.Specification according to readout should be between_1 and +4 mm.My readout is +5mm. so I'll have it checked next service as it is probably near enough,you guys agree?( I presume positive value relates to toe in as the schematic representation on my readout indicates excessive toe in.) Thanks for any thoughts. Cheers, Bob.

Could you highlight the adjustment for me/us Alex, is it what we call an eccentric bush on the lower arm with the hole off centre?

In most cars, the toe on the rear axle must be a toe-in situation (or zero on rigid axles).
Toe out is dangerous in the rear axle. A toe out will generate instability/wander and we all know what means that the rear wheels to not keep the straight direction.

And yes, the adjustment for the rear is made by repositioning an excentric piece/cam (5A983).
Below you will find some info.
