Rear toe issues continue after DTSS install

I installed DTSS bushings to replace what I though were worn out stock DTSS bushings. I'm suspecting the stock rear Toe adjust cams/bushings were the rear problem.

It seems that when I corner hard the rear end steps out as if DTSS were in effect, however after the turn is completed, the toe change doesn't go away. When you stop and get out of the car you can very obviously see the toe in the rear of the car. It goes left or right depending on which way you turn, but it doesn't come back to center.

I'd like to try replacing the cams and bushings, then have a full alignment done on the car to see if it will resolve the problem. Do you know where I can source these bushings? Mazdatrix doesn't appear to carry them on their site.

Just the DTSS bushings. I plan on doing the rear LCA's and the toe adjust cams and bushings.

Seems like the rear control arms bushings are broke and/or the factory toe adjusting bolt.[I]

Since the busings you didn't replace are likely to be 17 years old at this point, I'd start looking there.
