Does anyone know the part number for the rear toe eccentric bolt/nut/washers? Torx on one side, 18mm nut on the other.

Thanks in advance!

Does loosening up the eccentric bolt/nut give you access to adjusting the toe? When I went to get an alignment, the guy told me he couldn't adjust the rear toe because some nuts/bolts were seized and that I need new tie rod ends. I've never worked with camber/toe so i'm not sure, and I'd rather not buy tie rod ends if they're not the real issue

I had to replace l/r upper wishbone, l/r lower a-arms, and l/r tie arms. I ended up getting everything off eBay from an audi junkyard for like $150 off an '04 A6 with 30k miles.

the tie arm is what controls toe. it's at the back of the knuckle with an 18mm and square nut. on the other side of the arm on the subframe, it's a 12-point, 2 washers, 18mm nut. that's the one giving me issues. I can see it's the washer that's touching the subframe and it just galvanized on there. I just got 275s mounted so I'm getting the car towed to my tuner to get them to oxyacetylene it off. I have the arms, so they can just fry through that. my days of +2* toe on the rear are over finally. I'm hoping the VW or audi dealership has them in stock.

thank you frank. I can imagine you and I have the same issues from living in the rust belt.

I spent hours removing those arms last weekend, they are miserable. The bolt seizes to the bushing and you lose the ability to adjust toe. The S6 arms I put in were aluminum vs the steel arms that came stock.

VW/Audi dealer should have a box full of them, I know my local does
