After getting loose into a curb i had some REALLY HORRIBLE rear end toe issues. Well I found the problem after dropping the rear subframe. Four issues here,

1. Look at the Gaps on the trailing arm bushings there, those cams adjust toe, it completely threw them out of alignment.

2. Check out the lateral link, it looks like it's been replaced... BUT THEY REPLACED IT BACKWARDS... WTF, I had a known good subframe sitting right next to it for comparison, check that **** out... It never caused any noticable issues... but wtf ya know? I guess I should just turn the lateral link around?

3. Check the diff mount do they all warp like that?

4. The drivers side of the diff output shaft appears to be leaking oil, I'm assuming this is just the output shaft oil seal which is a 6 dollar seal from mazdatrix?

Stuck the impact on that cam, and it straightend out pretty damn well. I'm going to replace the bushings, and fix all the other little things, then take it to an alignment shop to have them dial in stock toe (btw that's ± 3mm).

Well Everything is back together... Parts got in yesterday, finished up right about 12am. Didn't really wanna drive it in that crap *** weather last night. I may take it for a spin this evening. It's still slightly out of alignment, but the cams are tight and shouldn't be floating around. I'm pretty sure that was the sensation I was feeling in regards to the sloppy rear end. If that Cam is loose the rear end will float all over the damn place.

After lowering the car back down it looks pretty even, may be a degree or two of toe-in on each side, but stock allows for a variance of almost 18 degrees in either direction. I guess i'll have to wait for the the suspension to settle out, then take it do an alignment shop and have all 4 corners done.
