Are there any alignments to be done on the rear?

I'll be taking my car for a custom alignment pretty soon. I was wondering if there is any alignment to be done in the back. I would think not considering it's a solid axle, but just thought I'd ask anyway.
Thanks.

There are no provisions for adjustment on the stock rear suspension. If you have an adjustable panhard rod, they could insure the body is centered correctly side-to-side over the rear axle assembly. And if you had adjustable LCA's, they could insure that the rear axle assembly is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the car (thrust angle). Otherwise, you are stuck with whatcha got.

You could technically drop the axle and bend the axles just a bit to get some negative camber in the rear, but I don't think the alignment shop will want to do that

Better consider some flexible axles for the rear camber adjustment. Its gonna look a bit rice too.
