Unhappy Problem with the toe in the rear..

Hi, everyone. I took my car to an alignment shop yesterday (Car has Megan coilover) and the guy called me and he said theres a problem. On the right side everything is fine, camber is setting at -3.5*. But on the left if he try to give more negative camber the toe will start to turn out. So basically the more negative camber = toe keep turning out.
Ive search but couldnt find anyone with similar problem. I was thinking may be the toe arm was bent.
Any help would appreciate it.

You need toe bolts to get within specs with that amount of camber

I'm surprised that your toe is even In specs on the right side. You have camber arms?

Are you running aftermarket arms? If you are dropped a substantial amount on those coils you will need a camber kit along with extended toe bolts as well as to elongate the holes for the toe bolts

of course toe will change as camber changes. Toe is adjustable just like camber.

Toe bolts came in yesterday. If that dont fix the problem, i guess my next stop would be replace rear uca and lca (the one that hold the spring).

I already know the problem behind most of these alignment threads before i even read them lol...the guy doing the alignment is an idiot..of course adjusting the camber effects the toe
