Rear Toe adjustable on 01' SE?

Hello all, first time on this site... Last fall I took off my set of 4 AS Radials and put on my soft-as-cheese Falkens for the winter. The rear pair of whls I dismounted gave me a shock of a lifetime. Both were wearing excessively on inside (1 inch from edge)... (Bridgestone Potenza RE92) and the right rear had belt exposed also! I then proceeded to get a 4whl alignment not wishing this predicament on my cherished Falkens. The techs there told me Right rear toe measured 0.18" and specs supposed to read from 0 to 0.08". They said that Rear Toe can not be adjusted because of vehicle design. So what do I do now? I need to know what's causing this wear, so I decide to go to another garage - big name specializing in exhaust and suspension. I show them the diagnostic printout and they say for sure rear toe CAN be adjusted... He says he can't do anything until he orders a kit and says tie rod is much bigger in back than in front so he doubts it is tie rod...So who do I believe and what's me next step? - Frustrated. I feel like my rear wheels want to drive at 90 degrees soon if this keeps up.

Also last two weeks I notice that dreaded "chirping" sound coming under hood or near firewall while idling in neutral. When I depress clutch quarter to half an inch noise is gone. WHile driving, I cannot tell if chirping there - Falkens are too loud. Is this serious, or should i just buy a can of silicone lube spray, crawl under dash and give the cable a few squirts?
