I have marked the bolts and then changed the rear top links. I have then had a 4 wheel alignment carried out and the rear wheels are still out.

Lets face it since we are only dealing with millimetres, if the top links are a different length by millimetres then the rear tracking can be wrong. I now always err on the side of caution and get the tracking done ( saves 2 x £60 tyres )
