With a stock setup, I don't think there is a whole lot you can adjust at the rear. If it took a severe damage, something other than the swing arm might be out of spec.

I don't think they necessarily adjusted anything. I think they just loosed it up and re-tightened to make sure nothing got torqued out of place.

Let me ask this (of anyone).

If
1) The frame is not bent
2) The wheels show aligned (including toe, caster, camber)
3) Tires do not show wear

What is left? I can only think power steering.

Have U tried to change the rear tire or tire set w another good working set?
The damaged side/rim may have also separated a radial in the tire but not visable on the outside of the tire. U said the rim was replaced, was the tire bad too?

The service manager I dealt with said the tire was ok after they took it off and inspected it. I have no reason to not believe them.

I unfortunately don't have a way of swapping out for known good set unless the dealer had an extra set laying around. They haven't yet offered but I will suggest this.
