Rear toe out after LCA install

My rear toe appears out now after the Cusco LCA install, I am on Tein Flex and already have an alignment scheduled on Friday but it is pulling left and right while driving and I can smell the rubber from the toe out, anyone have suggestions on a fix for now until I take it in?

TL;DR

How to fix rear toe?

Thanks in advance.

Loosen the toe link's adjustment nut and adjust it by turning the bolt head. You'll see obvious changes and just eyeball it. A lot of people are good at eyeing it, but I got to within .06 and .08 on each side just eyeballing it until the following day for real alignment.

I jacked the rear end up and left the wheels on while adjusting to get easier judgement.

You might need aftermarket toe links with a bigger adjustment range depending on how much you're lowered and your final camber setting. Dialing back camber with a LCA will increase toe out.

Like Omar stated, and also as mentioned you can look at DMC or Whiteline etc for toe links. If you're past 1.5" toe links would be what you need likely.
