let me guess...you have rear disc?

even if you don't, get a pair of EF toe arms, you probably have the DA ones. EF ones are longer

An alignment may solve your issue.

The rear is supposed to be slightly toed in.

First, make sure you have the correct lower control arms. After that:

Don't be cheap, save yourself time, and just pay for a quality alignment.

Then post back if you're still having issues.

Use your EF's toe arms.

Someone sold me a set of DA toe arms and called them "EF toe arms", so I thought it would solve me issue but it didn't. Make sure you get the ones on the LEFT not on the right.



notice the difference?

Considering the topic, I found it amusing that your toes were in the picture.
