The toe arm has two clamps as well... if you compare it to the LCA, the black barrel of the toe arm is the same part as the threaded rod with the nut on it between the arm and the rod end. Instead of clamping into the arm, it clamps to the other rod end. Same effect though, and like someone else mentioned, for the toe to change both clamps have to be loose enough for the barrel to rotate, in theory you only have to stop one end from rotating to stop coarse adjustments from happening. They run two so that the movement of the rod end at the other end can't cause a tiny change in toe.
