Replacing rear toe bolts 2011 xc90 v8

Anyone have a clue what I need to replace specifically? I am told from alignment that I need to replace the rear toe bolts to get alignment correct as mine are bad and cannot be adjusted. I don't see a such thing as rear toe bolts. Not sure if I need eccentric bolts or something else but alignment shop was not all that helpful. Please help

There's a slotted bar on the back (the "stay", PN 9200217), then the adjustment is via an eccentric bolt/nut combination (PNs 986931, 31201493, 985870). See diagram in whatever Volvo reseller site comes up in your search for the first PN, will give you an idea as to how the rear suspension is laid out.

The rear toe arm is the lower square arm. What happens is the threads of the inner eccentric bolt (bolt to the center of the subframe) rusts and shops get scared to adjust these because it may take heat and/or damaging the bolt and nut. Some places, when replacing the bolts and nuts may add a little bit of anti-seize on the bolt threads, especially in rust prone areas. This will allow future alignments without worrying about damaging the bolt and nut.
