toe adjusters
Hello, I recently bought some Mfactory rear toe adjusters and I was just curious if anyone had a picture of them installed, or any other brand of toe adjusters installed for that matter? thanks

Re: toe adjusters (jchrm80)
do you not know where they install?
Part #3 in this picture is what you will be replacing. Make very very sure you get an alignment after installing them, and make sure that the shop who does it knows how to adjust them! They offer more adjustment than the factory arm obviously.

Aftermarket rear toe adjusters are not a good idea. You can end up with different compensator arm lengths on each side of the car, which can affect handling, and can also make the trailing arm bushing bind up if it's adjusted past the factory intended toe adjustment range.

Here's a picture of the srr toe link installed on my DA. I had a washer welded on so the toe would just be adjusted on the toe link instead of the traditional way.

But doing this would force the car to have different compensator arm lengths left to right, if the car was not absolutely straight (and none are). This will result in different toe curves on each side of the car.
With the factory adjuster, the arm length stays static, so there won't be variance on the curve left to right.
Personally, I would only use toe adjusters in the back, to play with different compensator arm lengths, while keeping the length the same on both sides. I would still use the factory slot for adjustment in the left / right differences, and keep the compensator arm adjustment to change the curve equally on both sides at the same time. But thats me, and I'm no expert.
