Rear Toe Won't Go In Spec

Hello all.

I have an 03 X5 with 170,000 mi. I just had the rear suspension rebuilt with a Lemforder kit. I had the subframe bushings checked while I was there.

When it was time for an alignment the camber came into spec (-1.62L, -1.54R) but the toe wouldn't improve beyond -.28L, -.39R.

I just went through a set of tires in 3000 miles hence the rear suspension rebuild. I'd really like to prevent this from happening again.

The guy who did the alignment has never done an X5 before but he did spend a good bit of time trying to get the toe to improve while keeping the camber in spec.

What are my options? Are there toe bolts with greater eccentricity available?

Thanks in advance!
