It turns out the guy that did my alignment and said my alignment was fine was wrong. I took it to a better shop and he told me you need to buy a rear chamber adjuster. So I bought a SPC rear chamber adjuster and this helped correct my rear toe issue I had. There was plenty of toe adjustment before, but for some reason the angles of the chamber threw it off.

I paid $186 bucks and installed the arms myself, took me about 30 min. Pretty easy to install! But on our cars the rear chamber is not adjustable, these bars really help. Heres pics of before and after on my alignment

We can't really tell you, your alignment guy if he is good should be able to tell you. But just make sure toe is set, because if it is off, you can chew up your tires really fast if toe is out.

So in my case I have to push the cross member to the passenger side because my driver toe is out of adjustment. He explained that if I do that toe, and chamber all will straighten out.
This is an age old trick that does work, I am surprised that the shop would not know this...
