Default EF Rear Toe Adjustment Links?

"Crash Bolts" I believe that's the affectionate term used for equipment like this designed to correct for impact related alignment issues. I'm maxed out on inward adjustment but still have about .35 degrees of toe out on my rear left wheel. Does anyone know any details about how to aquire an aftermarket link that offers adjustment?

I know Eibach makes one, but I can't find any real information on it besides what's on these 2 pages:
http://eibach.com/cgi-bin/html...24684
http://www.tirerack.com/suspen...Qty=1

All it would really need to be is an adjustable rod with the right sized holes at the end, is it very uncommon to make something like this from scratch?

SPC makes 2 sets, one with rubber bushings and one with Heim Joints. I'll be picking up a pair of the heim joints one when I get the funds.

We have produced the toe links as well. 100% designed and manufactured in the USA.

i would buy a new trailing arm instead to fix your problem.

its not advisable to have mismatched lengthed toe arms. different toe curves. heck, i wouldnt mess with the toe curve at all anyway. especially just thinking of changing one side....

fix the real problem.

I completely forgot about the toe curve, it would probably be even worse witht he more aggressive 1988 toe curve. The reason I wanted to try an adjustable toe link rather than replacing the the trailing arm is that there's a small possibility that it's frame damage, a fix I can't afford.
