Rear toe adjustment ... how to?

[AstroVannin]

OK... clock is ticking on this one. Camber wear I can handle, but this is going to fuck shit up large if its left like this.

How can I adjust the rear toe?

This is BEFORE the rear camber kit install



This is AFTER (look at the rear toe)


Just for a visual on the camber.

it's pretty easy to adjust the rear toe actually...but you ARE limited as to how much.

On the shorter lower control arm, there is a lock nut and an adjuster nut. The adjuster nut is facing the rear...turn it and it'll adjust your toe.

You might need to upgrade your lower control arms to something like these


dammit I need to install mine !!!!...grrr


your camber is too negative to be beneficial...need to fix that too.

Amen...

I dont think so. My car is WAY to low to handle good anyways. Its purley asthetic.


Adjustable lower control arms... got it. Thanks

Whats the range of sdjustment on the stock setup?

[bcjammerx]

It's a fair amount. I did my alignment back in the day but I don't remember. I remember I got it JUST in spec to have straight ahead steer...pretty sure I had to adjust BOTH sides to counter the one side being walloped. So while it does adjust...it isn't like the front.

i don't remember really, it wasn't a great deal cause it'll adjust so far then it'll bring it back (circular)...it'll prolly get you JUST in spec, but not too far. Give it a try.

I had my R rear tire get smacked and I had to adjust it to the max to get steer ahead straight. My next mod will be ingalls adjustable ball joint (to fix my current issue) then once I save for the alignment the lower arms go on.

Il take the rear wheels off and have another look at it this week.

In all honsety Il probably take some of the neg out of it .... It looks cool... but the tire wear is going to be an issue for sure

Good move, sanity prevails! IMO you should take quite a lot of the camber out...

[Maple50175]

whoa thats intense camber i was way lower then that and it didn't look like that.

[AstroVannin]

sanity prevails!

ha hah a ... not very often

Il probably put the tires flush with the fenders again. That looked good to me. Once I go lower Il be able to crank them out a TINY bit more.

MAPLE - I put in a wicked tuning camber kit to do that. .. .there pics before on my MR thread. Or rather ... check hte alignment specs pics at the top... you can see the before.

Im getting a mish mash of coilovers for some more drop... but I need to raise the exhaust .. its pretty old and saggy..

I was pretty happy with the sleeves and decent struts... but Im at the limit for that setup.

Dustin if you want I have the Megan Racing adjustible tow arms for the rear...I dont think Ill ever use them...so if you want them, I think we can work out a trade of some sort

WTF....... My cars almost on the ground and only about 1.5 degrees negative camber with (.005-.008) toe in on the rear and factory perfect on the front. What is wrong with yours? That ain't right. What did you hit? Lets see a side view with slight angle please.

if you read the first post, he added a camber kit silly.

mine is like that, but zero offset hides how angled they really are...but i need all this camber!

[EXR-ALB]

Yea I saw that, but is that shot of the rearend before or after the camber kit install. It says after the install there is close to 4 degrees of neg. camber. That pic is like 10 or more. IMO even without the kit installed there is no way the camber got sucked in that far unless he's runnin air cylinders or sumthin. I could pull my coils right out and not sit anywhere near that. Hey "AstroVannin", what susp. setup you runnin????????

[AstroVannin]

Bags........ ??? NEVER !

ITs sleeves on Tokico blues, no bumpstops. 450F 350R for spring rates.

BEFORE I put the rear camber kit it it was probably like -4 or so. Im basing that on the angle they were on in relation to the fronts which are a little better then -3.5 now.

After I installed the camber kits, you can see the numbers ... about -7.
