 Post subject: Rear Toe
PostPosted: Fri Feb 21, 2003 1:39 am 
Is there any way to adjust rear toe? The manual says you can't. Are there any aftermarket parts that let you do it?

Don't our cars have solid rear axles, not IRS. The onlyway i could think of is to cut the ends off and weld them back at the angle you want. Just a thought.

Yeah it is, but on some cars you can add spacers in the hubs to get toe and/or camber. Just wondering if it was an option on ours.

Though my first thought was no, I was thinking you really could if you wanted. I guess you could add a thin shim washer behind the hub (bolts on with 4 bolts on the disk axle anyway) on the back two bolts. What I think is a better option is to make a thin (about 1/8") plate that is angled at your desired toe in. The shim washer would leave a gap and not fully support the plate, thus putting a lot of pressure on the bolts, the plate shim would help distribute the load.

I am not sure why you want to , but this should work reliably.
