Suspension Adjusting Rear-Toe without control arms?
Adjusting Rear-Toe without control arms?
I recently got into an accident involving a bent up upper control arm and messed up rear toe for the passenger side.
I have replaced the control arm and the car's camber came back to normal but toe is still very messed up!
I know there are three-bolts (or two?) that I have to undo, in order to adjust the rear toe. However, I have no idea which bolts I have to loosen.
Can anyone point out which bolts need to be loosen? Thank you in advance!

Follow the trailing arm up the bushing carrier...

...this one is mine with the Bavarian Autosport bushing installed.
The bushing carrier has three elongated holes which will allow some toe adjustment.
This pic is with the stock bushing...

But I don't get what you mean by three elongated holes! In the second pic, with the stock bushing, is the rusted bolt with a bracket considered as one?
No...the bolt you circled holds the bushing/carrier assembly to the trailing arm.
Just follow the arm towards the front where the bushing/carrier is...you will see the bolts that hold it to the floor.
One of the bolts is hidden by the plastic underbody panel/pressure lip and accessed through a little rectangular cutout flap.
