I might have wrote that wrong. I'm now prone to toe out. Edited original post to add my issue is toe out in the rear.

Toe out in the rear is a major no no unless you like the back end to come around front. Might be able to get some of it taken care of with rotating the ovals inwards a bit. Whats your height from the front and rear of the bottom and most outside edges of the sideskirts?

EXACTLY! Need to get my Toe to Zero without adding more than a half degree of camber. In the front I'm about 10 1/2in height wise from the ground and about 11in in the rear.

Measure from the bottom so we know your ride height. The bump steer kit is designed for lowered cars. So it may not work properly if the car isn't low enough.

More than likely, the bushing (Bump steer offset hole) is not rotated correctly. seen this issue before.

Was thinking about "clocking" the bushing about 45 degrees to change the angle enough to get the Toe back to zero with the amount of camber I want. Any reason to not do this?

I would start around 20-25* and if its not enough, then incrementally increase a tiny amount.

Sounds like the car is too raked out for "ideal" ride height? At least from a performance perspective. The car should be basically level front to rear (which means the back will look lower relative to the fender opening) to put the suspension in more optimal geometry.

Also, depending on the rest of the setup, 2 degrees of camber in the rear is about right.

Dropped the rear to level out the car. Went back to the alignment shop and was able to get thepassenger side camber down to 1.7 and Zero Toe. Not where I want but almost half a degree closer than before. The driver side however didn't change. Measured the height a few times to make sure the height was correct on both sides. LCA bushings are whiteline with 10k miles on them. this leaves my young self scratching my head

PROBLEM SOLVED! Since the toe arm was installed with the car on the lift, the bushings never settled. Just loosened the arm on both sides while the suspension settled and problem fixed!
