your rear end can be out of alignment... you can bend the 4 link mounts and such...

I know its not the same as the front end but you can bend control arms and shit...

... I have don't it before... bent a control arm on my old RX7 didn't snap the axle though thanks god

or your rear-end falls out and you can say your car is on a diet.
