If someone buy the bushings they can post the country of manufacture. I’m guessing it is going to be China.

Not according to NEWTIS. Camber is controlled by the control arms, toe by swing arms. In the rear.

Of course, with suspensions there is almost always some cross-coupling between adjustments, so camber adjustment may also change toe a little. So on these cars, the spec is to set camber first, then toe. And failed components away from the adjustment points can cause the problems. Even as my 2001 3.0i approaches 200k miles, many components are still doing fine in there. But the ball joints (#2 in the diagram) were severely deteriorated around 170k miles when I replaced them due to increased tire wear and un-correctable camber. My forward upper control arms = "guide links" = #6 in the diagram were inspected and are still working fine as originals. Swing arm bushings in part #15 are too, but if I had known the bushings were available separately, I probably would have replaced them due to being in there.

Interestingly enough, yes, it is contradicted by the section of Newtis I looked at. I'll have to dig deeper.

It will be pretty quick to just look under your car. Very clear which are the eccentric bolts - as discussed above.
