UPDATE:

So - had the car on the quickjack.

Rear wheels BOTH had lots of play. Thought bearings but they were too quiet for that - and on further examination it was clear the wheels were pivoting directionally - so I pulled them and checked the arms-

And I found that BOTH rear toe arms were loose at the outside joint! Allowing a significant amount of movement and therefore toe change!


When tightened down, the castle nuts are too far past the drilled holes for the cotter pins to lock them in place. I'm thinking hardened washers might help space things out so both top (flat) and bottom (camfered) castle nuts can be locked in place. Or if that doesn't work using a jamb nut-


Need to pick up parts and head back.

Not sure if this is what tripped the error codes or not?!? Changing toe certainly seems like something that could mess up the stability control system - but why the ABS light?
