ok, something on my rear suspension is bent preventing me from going past ~0 toe. right now i'm slightly toe'd in.

can anybody recommend an aftermarket toe-compensator arm? what about these?

are these even legal under ST rules? I think they are, but my interpretation could be pretty tortured.

 

SRR also makes one.

After careful examination of the ST rules, I cannot decide if 14.8.F allows for replacing the 'compensator arm'

The rule does say alternate control arms can be used to correct camber changes resulting from lowering, but not toe changes. Since either toe-adjustable arm effects camber I don't think I can run them and be legal, or at least feel good about running them.

 

carl, my interpretation of the rules says that these are not legal for ST. however, the subaru guys can replace the rear lca's on their cars and the resultant toe change is allowed. (i beleive there was a tech bulletin on this, not sure) the real question is, are the toe compensators "control arms"? if they are, then they are legal to be changed/replaced provided no other control arms are replaced. maybe a letter to the STAC/SEB is in order?

at any rate, you could probably run them and no one would be the wiser, nor would anyone likely care. still, i think a better approach would be to discover what is bent/broken/whatever and fix it. the length of the toe compensators, if unequal, will give you an uneven amount of dynamic toe change between the two rear tires. it's small, but it's there. not to mention anything else that might not be working as you'd expect it. i'd foresee nightmares dialing the chassis in.
