The technicians said my rear bushings on the control arms are fine and not worn. What could be causing the difference from left and right toe in the rear? Currently it is 0.4 and -0.32. My total rear toe is 0.08 and thrust angle is 0.36.

You've either got a bent rear axle (doubt it), bad rear wheel bearing, or bad bushings in the control arms - the axle isn't perpendicular to the chassis centerline, - and it's moving, based on those toe measurements.

The rear axle looks like it's changing thrust angle just by roll compensating (look at before & after toe measurements. The camber values don't change, and the total toe back there doesn't either). That would say bushings to me...

How did the tech determine the bushings are good? Visual inspection?

Yeah visual inspection. Will my tires wear out very fast? I just spent a good amount of money on KO2s. lol Also, how do I know if my rear wheel bearing is bad? I don't feel any vibrations, no noises, and no leaks.

I wouldn't be worried about a bearing if there's no noise, vibration, or leaks.

And from what I'm seeing there, neither wheel is moving independently of the other, toe or camber-wise.

I still suspect bushings.
