Need Help Locating Rear Toe Arms

[jakk220]

I've been trying to find somewhere to buy the rear toe arms because mine on my GSX, just like everybody else, are seized. I have checked around on some threads with no luck on a solid answer so i figured id just post this. I think my main problem is I don't know exactly what the part is called by retailers. I just call it the rear toe arm. I need the eccentric bolt and the arms for both sides. If someone could post a link for me to a retailer that has them that would be great. Thanks.

Didn't look to hard.

I'm actually looking for the parts rather than how to do it. I did see a link on there for STM but they only have the passenger side, not the driver unfortunately.

 

[miliman13]

the link I provided you not only has the how to, but it has the part numbers to BOTH SIDES for BOTH AWD AND FWD. All you have to do IS LOOK! stm carrys all of them so does any dealer.

 

[jakk220]

STM does not carry both of them. They only have the driver side. And if I don't have to go to a dealer and pay a ton of money I would rather not.

Do you want to know, how I know your wrong? Because I got of the phone with brian from stm a few days ago, when I ordered my toe arm. And they can in fact provide you with any arm your looking for, oh and for your Information they both (dealer) sell the exact same arm for the exact same price. Please make an attempt to do your own research, before asking members to hold your hand and spoon feed you. Good luck the info is there.

Then maybe they should update their site considering that you can not order it online. It says discontinued and doesn't give an option to add it to the cart. To me, that means they don't have it. I was just simply seeing if someone already knew a place to buy them with the bolts off the top of their head while I was searching, not asking someone to research it for me. So chill.

Another option is to go with an aftermarket arm set. Ditch the eccentric set-up and just use an adjustable length arm for toe adjustments.

Also stated was the use of fwd arms . Just use a spacer . I went with fwd arms becuse of similar issues but seeing how I'm going with poly inserts , fwd and awd rear toe arms don't make a diffrence .

 

[jakk220]

I wouldn't mind just getting those aftermarket ones. Who makes/sells those?

I considered the FWD option, but figured that if I might as well just get AWD ones at that point. Is there a benefit to going with the FWD ones or are they just easier to find?

Pull some off a 2000ish intrepid or crystler equivalent. Theyre straight and you can just take a dsm front joint and put it on the end iirc.

 

[NWHTanK]

They are the same ecept the sleve on awd are longer , that's why u need a spacer if going with fwd arms in a awd car.

 

[jakk220]

Looks like getting them off the intrepid might be the better option. Is the swivel/pivot ball end already on them and then I just have to buy a tie rod end?

I have a FWD, but anyway I got them off of amazon:

Total was $70 shipped

RTM carries OEM FWD, AWD, right, left all day, every day. Just sayin'.

 

[jakk220]

I would consider just getting those for convenience, but is there a spacer in particular that works/fits best that I could buy?

RTM is really pricey though. $200 is a bit much. But your right they do have them.

 

[NWHTanK]

Well I just got done doing the prothane kit to the rear toe arms. The spacer is half a inch long. If u are gona use stock parts then cut off a half inch off your old sleaves to add to the fwd arms. Its been a while since I bought these arms , but the reason I think why i went with the fwd toe arms was becuse they were a little cheaper and it didn't matter with the prothane kit.

 

[jakk220]

Okay thanks for the info. I'll do that if I decide to get the FWD ones.

I wouldn't mind just getting those aftermarket ones. Who makes/sells those?

I do. They'll be in the Freelancer section soon. But if you're on a budget, they're probably not for you. They are more expensive than the OE arms.

 

[jakk220]

I may be able to chuck up a few extra bucks when I get my income tax depending on how much they are. Any idea on what you will be charging for them?

I just bought 2 of those for my awd 3g there about $125 a piece from the dealer.
