Urgent Subaru help needed

[amalventano1 at tds.net (Allyn)]

IIRC, that rear setup is not adjustable without aftermarket parts.  It would be a fairly strong argument that the shop did
incomplete work, and should not only cover the costs to fix it correctly, they should also cover the prematurely worn tire.  That's
probably not what you'll get out of the deal, but it's what you should be shooting for.  Realize the insurance was *supposed* to
cover the cost of getting the car back to factory specs, and a misaligned rear end is a pretty obvious sign that they failed to do
so.
