camber arms and toe arms and toe bolts?
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:
ebay toe bolt auction
Please let me know what i need to buy to remedy the problem. Links would be nice or pictures. Thanks.

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.

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

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

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
Thanks

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 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???
