Thanks, Ray
I guess you mean the trailing arm, and not the A arm. The lower trailing arm will adjust the toe-in-out. The upper A-arm will adjust camber, and I think will affect the toe-in as well, as does the ride height. You want to first adjust your ride height. Then, you want to adjust the camber, if needed, and then adjust the toe in with the trailing arm. If you centered the trailing arm adjustment, I would think you should now have the same number of threads showing, combining both ends, as you initially had showing on just the one end. Most people say you want about 1/4" toe in, although I set mine neutral, or maybe 1/8" toe in.

I used a pipe wrench on the threaded tube, as the square end was outboard, near the jam nut. If you re-assemble it, I would orient the tube such that the square end (place to put wrench) is inboard, as I think it would be easier to adjust in the future.
