Default Rear Toe maxed out on DC trailing arm?

So I recently had the car aligned, turns out they could not get the toe setting on the driver side rear traling arm. Anyone with experience or similar issue? I was told maybe a bent frame, but I have recently replaced the trailing arm bushing on that side since it was torn. Hopefully a bent trailing arm or toe arm. Any info would help, thanks

also, car is dropped on H&R Oem sport 3/4 inch front and back on koni yellows

is this on a DC chassis? which compensator (toe) arms did you use?

did you properly space the TA bushing when you pressed it back in?

They should have been able to tell you what was bent if anything.

so what CAR do you have? DC? why dont you already know if your trailing arms are possibly bent? are these not original?

yes, its very likely trailing arms are bent, but if theyre original then you shuold know why....

and if you dont have a DC, you shouldnt be using the DC toe arms.
