83 300td rear toe adjustment??

i have one rear wheel that is toed out, is there any toe adjustment on these rear ends? i see some elongated bolt holes on the bracket that helps secure the front "subframe bolt" ... is that a form of adjustment there? the back end is out far enough that the car actually dogtracks down the road..just enough to be noticed...my brother noticed it one day when following me..he now refers to my car as the Mercedes Bent... haha...

There is no adjustment. You have something broken/worn out. Check all your subframe/trailing arm rubbers including the one on the back of the diff. Also, check your wheel bearing.

That elongated hole might be your problem.

hi Zedd
i looked it over again lastnight, i now realize there is no adjustment, i believe i have a bent rt rear control arm.. ive checked everything else.. bushings...this and that... i have a spare control arm from my parts car.. im gonna swap it out and see what happens... doesnt look like a fun job...looks like the subframe needs to be disconnected and dropped down ..but if this fixes it, it will be worth it.. thanks for the reply..R
