Rear Lower Thrust (control) arm non adjustable?

Guys,

Got real bad toe in on my left rear. Is there an aftermarket adjustable solution just for toe?




Thanks,
Leo

The rear toe in is adjusted with an eccentric bolt on the inner end of both rear tie rods. MB part # A 203 350 03 53 is the rear tie rod.
Your drawing is the A 210 350 38 06 thrust arm, which could be bent or worn out, changing rear toe in.

Excellent! Thank you. I replaced all the control arms except for that tie rod, so didn't see the eccentric bolt. Had to cut down an allen wrench to get to the backside of that bolt to adjust. Thanks for getting me in the right direction.
