So I ordered a new set of toe arms and eccentric bolts for my sons car, but when installing them we found that the bushing is too narrow. I'm assuming they sent me the correct arm (it has the bottom plated in), but the incorrect bushing? I have looked around the forums and see that people have been having spacers made. Is this the answer? Do you guys know of a place that sells the spacer, or do I have to find a machine shop? Thanks guys! ('98 GSX)
 
Awd uses a different arm which is basically the same as fwd arm but different inner bushing. You can make a spacer up and thats fine to do, the poly kits do this so they can make their kit fit both fwd and awd. Get a friend or local shop to make some alloy spacers to take up the gap nice and snugly.
 
Yeah, I went the way of spacers. A friend of mine has a machine shop. I just wasn't sure if there was something else out there.
Just so I'm sure, does anyone know if these are the correct specs?

Length = .535"
O.D = .750" or .875"
I.D = ~.480" (+/- .005)
 
I saw that thread, but went by the specs above instead. We got the arms installed today and it was flawless.
