    Post Adjustable Rear Toe Arms/Bad Toe

    Had an alignment check and my rear toe is way off.. Is this due to the rear trailing arms going bad? Im looking for Adjustable Toe Arms. Does anyone have recommendations? Or have some for sale?

    Any broken or "bad" suspension parts can give you uneven wear. Fix what's broken before upgrading. There should be no need for adjustable toe arms
    Modifications? I've forgotten more than I remember. Click here for the list.

    Bad rear trailing arm bushings will definitely put your rear alignment out. Had to replace mine last year for the same reason and no adjusters are needed.

    Do you actually have any unusual wear, or just that the toe is off?
    Just because it is slightly off doesn't mean anything is broken, maybe just needs to be adjusted. Also, something most people never consider is that the measurement could in fact be wrong... bad equipment, mis-installed/calibrated equipment or simply user error. A few years ago I went to canadian tire to have my alignment checked (for free). They told me my alignment was bang on, nothing required. Since I was having horrible tire wear I decided to get it aligned anyway at a local speed shop. They checked the alignment and it was actually quite a bit off, in the exact spot where I had suspected it was off (excessive toe in).

    I'm not saying this is canadian tire's fault... they had the latest and greatest in fancy alignment equipment, and I'm actually impressed/shocked they didn't try and "upsell" an alignment to me (something I had been prepared for when I walked in, since I knew what measurements to expect due to the tire wear i was experiencing). Something went wrong somewhere, and it could have happened at any garage.

    If you do need adjustable toe arms I have some. You'd need to buy at least 2 new heim joints however.
