4th gen Rear Alignment Problems

[ThShowzOver]

Im currently having trouble with my alignment. Below I attached my recent alignment sheet and my rear specs are way off. I dont know what to think of it besides bent axle housing. I would appreciate anyones input.


Thanks

I don't have anything really positive to contribute. I asked the mechanic who was doing my alignment recently about the rear alignement because I didn't think they could adjust anything. He basically said "yup, we can't do anything about the rear anyways, they just always print it out." He said "If the numbers are off it's usually the frame having been tweaked, or the driveshaft bent, or something else, but they can't adjust it anyways." If I recall corrently, he said anything less than 0.25 degrees is acceptable. Not sure how accurate that info is....

check the rear springs that sits on the perch, also under the frame. it might have moved a little.

It looks to me like a bent arm or severely worn bushings causing deflection, but my bet would be on a bent arm

Completely ignore those rear measurements. Notice that there's no spec range listed? You can't say they are bad without any reference, besides, those values are very small and wouldn't cause any issues.

I just installed new rear lower control arms, it tightened up the feel real nice. I went with these below, but other brands have adjustable ones:

Last night I looked under to see if the rear lower arms were bent and found nothing as shown below. I also lift up the rear to shake the tires for bad wheels bearings and they are solid. So I dont know where to go next... Do yall think it could be a bent rear axle housing?

Lifting the rear changes the offset of the axle. (Panhard bar pulls the axle) This will make it appear the the alignment is off (impacts trust angles, could potentially apply minor camber to the wheels as the weight distribution is changed slightly on the axle etc)
Those numbers don't look concerning imo
For what it matters, my rear alignment is similar
