Default Rear Toe Badly off spec.

Hi all, just got my alignment done on my front end at a shop and had the not touch the back end due to the extensive work it takes and the experience required.
anyways i got my measurements back and no surprise but my rear right toe is severely off spec, I know there is no specified rear toe adjustment but does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing such a bad toe? or how to fix it.
all replies are appreciated. (86' XJ6 VDP)

There are shims at where the the lower control arm mounts to the dff. Make sure the bolts are tight and no shims are missing. Also check the lower fulcrum bearings for play.

1. Thin shims can go there. 2/3. Check needle bearings for looseness and flat spots.

The lower control arm could be damaged?(bent?)

The lower fulcrum bearings in the axle hub carrier can wear a groove in the races and need replacement.
