have you checked the semi trail arm joints for wear
if they are worn you are best replace them with OE as they are spherical rose joint
do not replace them with any form of alleged uprated silicon type bush
You also have the alternative of running a 6 degree beam
some are single rose joint some are double rose joint
price is 1k
you can then adjust the cambers and toe
you got ant pics of it side on showing the ride hight

Genuine question here as I'm after doing my beam this year! Why would you need to adjust the toe in / out if the rear wheels are parallel with the fronts and negative camber is the problem you are trying to get rid of? Just trying to work out the benefits of a double jointed beam over one that's not

being able to adjust the individual toe of each back wheel is advantageous as well as the camber angle
The std bushes are all goosed by now and are expensive
people prefer both inner and out to be adjustable
some people don't like the inner having to be slotted to make toe adjustments on other makes of beam and you have more accurate finite adjustment of toe with and adjustable rose joint
As we make our own beams we can actually make them any way you would like them

The toe is what changes as the suspension travels, it goes over three degrees through the range of movement! Hence why Cossies are quite snappy. The camber means that the car runs on the inside two inches of tyre, hence Cossies eating the inside of rear tyres.
A 6 degree rear beam is a huge improvement to the handling & tyre wear!

we never slot the inner
for some applications and customers needs we have an eccentric calibrated bolt design for inner adjustment
the double rose joint set up just looks the bollox
we produce this beam for 1k the single type others make is alot dearer

toe change is a big issue as is the camber change
this type of rear suspension modification has been going on in all forms of racing on this beam set up since 1982
unfortunately road going customers tend to spend their money on making it go well not handle well
