Default rear toe/thrust angle

Im having problems here, My rear toe is +7deg on the driver side and neg 12deg on the pass side, The thrust angle is also 9deg positve.

I have front toe and chamber perfect caster is within spec. I am still getting a slight right pull. Is there anything I can do to the rear to get the axle straighter? I have a bone stock 99 TA

There are no adjustable links on the stock setup and no
way to change the thrust angle. For it to be that far out
seems like it would need some "off roading" or something.
And toe, on a solid axle? Way unlikely without serious
abuse. Are you sure you believe the numbers?

You could get adjustable LCAs but that will only affect
thrust angle and not toe.

well its seems liek the axle has shifted? making the toe neg on one side and positive on the other and also making the thrust angle off?
