Assuming you mean brake stay = guide rod and not guide rod = tie rod

I would expect your camber to be out rather than toe.

If you have a spirit level that has a bubble for the vertical, space it out from the rim of the wheel (don't align to rubber side walls!) to see if it is vertical with weight and wheel on the ground - roll the car back and forth to allow suspension to settle before measuring.
