Cheapest way to get easy toe adjustability in the rear?
I've been fiddling with DIY alignment on my BRZ and am pretty happy with it so far. The biggest pain is adjusting rear toe - the OEM eccentric washer is horrible to adjust. It changes toe by a lot with the tiniest turn, and it's almost impossible to tighten the nut without affecting the toe.
What's the cheapest way of getting easy adjustments? I'm looking for a threaded toe arm like in the front, ideally with a fixed washer to lock the OEM adjustable slot. Is the RockAuto MOOG arm at $70 a piece the cheapest way? |
Yep, RockAuto Moogs (same thing as SPC) with some lockout plates. GKTech had the cheapest lockout plates I could find without resorting to cutting metal myself when I was last looking.
Only annoying part about the Moog/SPC is that you pretty much need to cut down a 22mm wrench to easily adjust them. |

MOOG/SPC LCA
SPC toe arms for additional range of adjustment. |
Resurrecting this. I got the Moog RK100124 for my BRZ to go with RCE Tarmac 2 coilovers (so that toe adjustment is actually bearable).
The Moog arms come with a threaded hole at the bottom of the ball joint and a Zerk grease fitting to go into it. Once installed, the Zerk fitting is rubbing on the handbrake cable. I don't remember how much clearance the stock toe arm had, but I do remember it being pretty close and having to push the cable out of the way to remove the toe arm from the knuckle. Anyone had this issue? I'm thinking greasing the arm, then removing the Zerk and either plugging it with a threaded plug (if I can find one that doesn't stick out and still rubs) or taping over the hole with some aluminum duct tape (hoping it will hold to the road grime and the grease creeping from the hole). In contrast, the SPC toe arms appear to be sealed and do not have a grease fitting hole. The stock toe arms are also sealed. And another "rant" - both Moog and SPC toe arms come with a castle nut and split/cotter pin, while the stock toe arm uses a flanged nut and a b-type cotter pin. Trying to reuse the flanged nut on the Moog arm doesn't expose the hole enough to push the pin through, so I used the provided castle nut. A little annoying. |

Honestly Zerk plugs are cheap, the problem is finding them locally or online without paying 100x for shipping (or buying a bag of 50 or 100 plugs that I don't need). |
