There is an eccentric bolt that must first me loosened, and then you can adjust.

If you are standing behine the car, looking towads the front, the eccentric bolts will be on either side in front of the lower control arms

Thats the rear subframe bolt, are you sure you're not thinking about the eccentric camber bolt?

Yea.

The OP is wanting to adjust the rear toe. Which is adjustable. The pic above obviously isnt of the eccentric bolt for the toe. (My mistake) It's kind of hard to tell from where the OP is taking the picture from. But I guess that obviously isnt it, because the washer around the bolt isnt eliptical.

OP, I will try to get a pic of where it is tomorrow.

The best I can do to descibe its location is look where one of the halfshafts are, and look above that but behind the hub.

the eccentric camber bolts only allow to adjust the camber not the toe rite?

There are two different bolts. One for the camber at the back of the hub. And one for the toe, located on the hub facing the front of the car.

Heres a pic of where they would be (follow the lower control arms back and look for an eccentric bolt)
