I got the ol "rear toe arm eccentric seized up" problem so Im looking to replacing both sides with the eccentrics while I got the subframe down.
The other lower arms are also seized up (NY salt) so Im looking to replace those also.

I got a quote from the dealership for $50 a side for ref # 41617 and about $58 a side for ref # 41300. That doesnt include the eccentrics/bolts.

Now, Ive seen a couple posts with a vendor that carries at least one set of these arms for less that $50 a side including the eccentrics, but I cant seem to locate them?

So anything less than $250 to fix all of this would be great. Again, looking for 4 arms with the 4 bolts/eccentrics and nuts.

Anyone help out?

Front arm, eclipse, w/turbo 95-99 $35.71 x2
Front bushings, eclipse 95-99 $6.42 x2

Thats a little better. Thanks Spyder :thumb: Now I wonder if the rear arms come with the eccentrics? If so 146.26 + shipping would be a lot better than what I was about to go with.
 
You need to call for the bolt and washer but they're not expensive.

Just curious: Why are you replacing the 41300 arms? Adjustment of these is not required.
 
Thanks for the info Ron.

Basically Im going through a restoration with this GSX. Ive finished going through the front/engine of the car, subframe and all, and got it back to looking new, cleaning up the engine bay with a partial tuck.

Im aware the other arms dont need adjustment - but in removing the rear end for the 5 sp swap, I find dropping the 2 arms to get the suspension out of the way to remove the axles is my easiest option. There is NO way to get enough pressure to get the arm pressed out of the spindle. I found that out quick with the front of the car. Also, it will be good to get a good bolt in there in case I do need to remove the arm in the future.
Lemme tell you, for the front suspension, the axles were rust welded into the bearings and the bearings were rust welded into the spindle. After using a 12 ton press, PB blaster, and lots of heat, I had to oxy torch the bearing out of the spindle. Serious NY salt + lots of time sitting around = replacing parts now while its all apart instead of the future when its on the road.

I like the feeling of looking under the car and seeing nothing but clean. Lots of work but I cant wait till Im done. So far it looks nice.
