I don't know a damn thing about MR2's. However, if you've got normal
threaded tie rods that control your toe, what you describe can probably
only happen if your camber is changing, which will cause the toe to
change. I don't know anyway a tie rod can "slip". However, the strut to
knucle bolts that hold camber can and do slip on various cars.
