Hey so i need some help

I have a 240sx lowered on stance coils, probable some cheap camber kit, and 17.9 rims

I went to get the car aligned and when aligned right the toe angle is super off
Only on the left rear side on the right rear side ifts off a little but not much, i just ordered some megan toe links and hopefully it will help my problem, but my rr wheel looks fine, but my rear left is crooked and off, should i get all new stock components and see if it solves the problem? Or is it another problem?
Im trying to get a flush ride when i get new rims but my left rear wheel also looks a littl pulled out, ill get pics up asap, do i need new rear lower control arms?? I need help, this is my dd and its undrivable right now thanks in advanceeeeeeeeeeee

the tech that did the alignment should have told you what your car needs to fix the alignment.

pointing in or out looking from the top of the car would be toe. so the toe arms will fix that. if your looking from the back with the wheels tilted in then that would be camber. adjust both and you should be set.

pictures also help.

Ya the tech took 2 days and many hours of messing with my car to say i need another part, then he tried to charge me $500 for 2 toe links instAlled....rip off. But the toe is out, like a lot out, when looking from above its like really bad. Hopefully this part i ordered fixed it, its just one side he can adjust better than the left side which is crooked

So wait, you got coilovers and rear upper control arms...guessing shits pretty low. You need an aftermarket toe arm for sure, stock ones are probably maxed out so getting another stock toe arm wont you do no good.

Im a little confuse do u have already have adjustable rods? You might already have subframe damage? That our your coilovers are not adjusted the same as the other side sometimes they don't know what to do with a lot of aftermarket parts that's why they took so long.

Well i bought the car with the coilovers, and camber and traction rod, im ordering a megan toe link to adjust the toe, its just when the guy adjust both sides of the car to get them the same the right look good but the left look bad like 3 degrees positive toe, i just dont know if my knuckles are bent thats why it wont adjust, idk

you just need the toe arms...nothing is bent. When you lower your car and try to add camber with adjustable ruca and stock toe arms your toe is going to be BAD.

Once you get your adjustable toe arms you shall be fine

*Need Adjustable RUCA & Toe Arms to get alignment/camber correct

Let's say your wheels are not tucked, but just 0 fender - wheel gap. If you have 2 way adjustable camber in your coilovers.. would you just then need Toe Arms.. as the priority arms to buy?
