Default Adjusting Toe and Camber on Jake's A Arm

I have searched and didn't find an answer. I have a Jakes a arm lift and can't figure out how to adjust the toe in. Any help?

Passenger front wheel is toed out because I had to lift cart, pull wheel, and replace a lost nut. I tightened everything back, lowered it and the wheel is toed out.

Here is an copy and paste from Tahoedawg on how to adjust toe in. If you want to see the entire post it's in the stickies under centering steering wheel.

Take a look at your steering rack. Look at the threads on each side where the ball joint threads on to the rack. You should have equal amount of threads on each side. If you don't. Make them equal. Either run one out, or run one in. Doesn't matter at this point. You can either count the threads, or measure with a tape measure. Just back off of the jam-nut and twist the shaft either into, or out of the ball joints. Don't worry about front end alignment at this point. Just get your threads equal.

Grab your tape measure. You should be able to distinguish a center point of the radius of the tire. Measure from left tire to right tire, center to center, at the forward most point of the tires. Record your measurement. Let's say it's 35" even. Measure the same two tires at the rear most point of the tire. It should be 35" 1/8". If it's not, let's get it there...

Make sure the jam nuts on the rack are backed off all the way to allow twisting of the shafts without running into the jam nuts. Take a 12mm wrench (fits nicely onto the rack ends) and "EQUALLY" adjust each side the SAME as each other until you reach your desired toe setting. For example, do a half turn out on each side. Recheck with tape measure, and so on, and so on. Just as long as you don't overdo one side, your thread measurement should not change and should stay equal with one another.

Okay, so I was mistaken. It's an All Sports kit. After some trial and error, I figured out how to make toe adjustments and camber adjustments.

Picture below for reference. Loosen the nut, then take a 1/2" wrench and use it to tighten/loosen the tie rod, which is threaded. As the rod screws into the joint, the toe is brought in. If you unscrew the rod, the toe is extended out. This is never explained well in any place I looked.

Are all three components of the frontend correct. That is the toe in, camber and is the steering wheel straight?
