Any help would be appreciated. thanks.
Unmarked rear arm mounts/blocks are 3 degrees. All FT kits should come with a range of these from 2.5-4 with 1 and 2 degree shims.

Outboard toe done with an aluminum rear hub is somewhat different, as it allows your wheelbase to stay the same while running more toe.

You use stainless for corrosion resistance, not strength.

Any Ti hardware you can afford is only marginally less prone to bending than stainless, too. Ti is good for some situations, but none I can think of that occur in RC vehicles that would not be better served with a strong steel screw.

None make it that far. Zip tie the sensor cable to a motor wire to protect it more. The SC10 motor guard provides marginally more protection on the left, but not enough to protect your sensor wire.
