That's what happens when you don't reference your toe readings to the vehicle center line, which you have to do.

......sounds like something I said several times already.

I reiterate, if you have an "individual toe" issue, you have something bent. For the record here, because you like to wander off into what if land, we are talking about the OP's solid rear axle setup and nothing else.

.......relation of the wheels is the problem, not how the wheels are connected. Bent or misadjusted the result is the same.

To further clarify things, toe is an issue with the tires pointing in or out, thrust angle is how square the axle is to the chassis. Separate issues.


With the same correction. Go back to your illustration, remove the green arrow and draw in the vehicle centerline. Now measure the toe of each wheel. The actual mechanics of correction depends on the specific suspension design.
