To adjust the rear wheel alignment on a Mazda, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and that the tires are properly inflated. Use a specialized alignment tool or a wheel alignment rack to measure the camber, toe, and thrust angle. If adjustments are needed, typically you will adjust the camber using the upper control arm bolts and the toe using the tie rods. After making adjustments, recheck the alignment to ensure it falls within the manufacturer's specifications.

A wheel alignment is what syncs your steering wheel with your wheels. It ensures your car will drive straight when your steering wheel isn't turned.

if you have independent suspention front and rear chances are a 4 wheel alignment can be done typically front wheel drive vehicles but not all.
Before-a bad alignment cannot "unbalance" a wheel, but an unbalanced wheel, if bad enough, can throw off an alignment.
