How can I fix my toe angle
I just got an alignment a few days ago and the guy said that he couldn't move my rear driver's side wheel's toe angle any more than what it was at(+1.8).The other three wheels were fine.What do I need to fix this?the Haynes book says that the lower control arm will adjust the toe angle,so should I look into getting new lca's?

Re: How can I fix my toe angle (Tyson)
The oil pan was flattened when I bought the car so it, at least,has been bottomed out.Other than that I don't really know.What about the trailing arm?Is that prone to being bent?

in a side impact, very easily the trailing arms can be bent. and likely the cause of your lack of toe adj. range.

Re: How can I fix my toe angle (Tyson)
That was the first thing that I thought could be wrong with it,even though there were no signs of this car ever being hit from the side.So I have looked online for replacement trailing arms but I couldn't find anything.I would be very hesitent to get one from the junk yard even though it would be really easy to get one there.Any ideas were to get a new one online?

Re: How can I fix my toe angle (Zerophase)
yep, i had the same problem...i did a rear disc conversion, ended up having crazy toe-in on my rear/pass.
dude sold me bent trailing arms. getting a brand new one can be quite costly, but getting a used one is unpredictable also.
just like camber arms...toe arms do exist...however, not a lot of people make them. so far i have found SPC (reputable, but expensive as hell), i also found Megan (never in hell will i trust an ebay brand) and i recently found out that SRR makes one, which i just installed today. i got em for $85 shipped.
and heres the link.... http://www.jmperf.com
i think its honestly your best bet, and incase you ever bend/unbend your trailing arms again (lol) the arms are adjustable to like a 5 degree in either direction range. (dont quote me on that...but itll be enough for you to get straight)
