something is bent or the tech couldn't get it loose or was to lazy to adjust it/didn't know how.

^^Probably this. Energy suspension trailing arm bushings are 30 bucks and arent too bad to put in.

It's very well possible that something could be bent. And there's more suspension components then just compensator arms that affect toe.

A previous owner could have slid it into a ditch or curb or something in the snow at some time. Ive seen that happen alot but people never consider the damage it does.
