If you bought the Ichiba rear kit, it comes with toe bolts. Perhaps the shop that installed the kit didn't use the toe bolts correctly. Also, you will need to elongate the hole to get the maximum benefit of the toe bolt. Do you remember your alignment specs?

You shouldn't need to buy any toe bolts the ichiba camber kit should have the right bolts already for you to adjust the toe settings, just take it to any reputable shop and have them look at your camber kit.

In case you didn't know, the Toe Bolt isn't actually used for the Camber Arm, it actually connects the Midlink/Lower Control Arm to the Sub Frame.

No gaurantee they'll be there, but you could try that too - if they aren't in the showroom - there are two bays to the right of the store on the back side where the actual shop is located - try sticking your head in there and asking for Sal or Oscar - tell them your issue - they'll help you out - might need to make an appointment, but super nice guys

+11111, it goes onto the spring bucket arm...basically the arm that holds the spring. Also, your shop has to be aware that they have to grind and elongate the hole to compensate the extra adjustments that the SPC bolts were made for.

^that's not where the toe bolt should be. The SPC toe bolts should be somewhat cleaner/shiny depending on how long it's been on there. It's that bucket where it holds the springs... closer to the exhaust
