Look for a FRONT drop link broken. These break a LOT more frequently than the rears (they turn with the upright)

In 10 min over the phone I can walk you through checking the rear toe on your car. It requires 4 jackstands and string.. and a tape measure. I'd only check this if you KNOW you have hit some major pot holes or bumped a curb. The only time I see rear toe adjustment "out" on our cars = when somebody is really bouncing the cars off the berms at the track.. and I have a solution for those people also

I'm going to thoroughly inspect the drop links per your first suggestion.
I may take you up on the second... but it's been my experience (haven't really tinker with cars for 25 years) that if the toe in/out is out of spec, i would notice wavy wear pattern on the tire. rear set of rubbers were replaced couple of thousand miles ago and the problem was first "felt" about the same time. both very recent.
