I bought some adjustable camber arms like these for my car and installed them...



but recently found out i need to adjust the toe, so i looked on ebay and found that you can buy toe bolts to do this and they are just a couple bolts... BUT, then i found out that we have also have toe ARMS on our car. Here is an example of the toe AND camber arms we have..



My question is can i get away with just buying these (see below pic) to fix the toe problem or do i need actual toe arms?? It is really confusing the crap out of me and i need some help cause i can't drive my car the way it is, my tires are going quick!!! I have to drive my OLD nissan truck. lol.



here's the link to the auction:

i bought the sbc camber bolts...and thats all they require for adjusting toe so its not necessary to buy both

 

Okay, the toe bolts go through the toe arms right? I just don't understand i guess how the bolts will adjust the toe since the arm can't be lengthened/shortened. Please explain.

 

?? aaaanyone??

 

Sorry I don't have much time to reply, but a quick search will answer this.

But the short version is: get camber arms, and toe bolts. Do not get what you're calling 'toe arms.'

 

the toe bolt is a cam in an oblonged hole. when you rotate the length changes. you'l need camber adjustable arms, SPC toe bolts and front upper adjustable a-arms.

 

why do my posted keep getting moved???

 

The toe bolts are all you need. Protocav did a write up on how to install them:

Now thats a good response!! Thank you very much for the link, excellent!

 

No worries...

 

After i go to the alignment shop with my new adjustable camber arms and the new SPC toe bolts installed, should i tell them about these two things, i mean, we have mainly rednecks in my town that work on fords and stuff all day long. haha. I really don't know how often they have seen an adjustable camber arm or a toe bolt that some elongated the hole before installing. Any experience with this?

Thanks

 

I'm sure they'll know what to do. Have them do the following.

Set rear toe to 0 after setting toe (done by turning the bolt) loosen the camber arm and adjust to -1.5. Have them recheck the toe as it may move. You basically play this game of back and forth till you get -1.5 camber in the back and 0 toe.

 

I could see how putting the toe at 0 would be good for tire wear, but not for basic handling at all. I'm just talking about basic handling characteristics on our cars. As far as I know, when you have an independent rear suspension some toe-in is required on all cars.

I agree 100% on the -1.5 rear camber though.

Can anyone else verify that trimming only the inside of the holes for the toe-bolts is required???
