Rear Lower Control arms HELP! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Domino · 09-08-2014, 11:50 PM

Need help , just installed me rear lower control arms from isc the v2 ones and install was great and everything went smooth until I lowered the car and could literally not drive over 20 because I have so much toe on both side. Positive toe on both sides to its pulling to each side. Is this shit normal, do I just need an alignment to get this fixed. What do i do, please need help. And I started at -3 camber on bc's and just had these control arms installed today about 5 months ago the coilovers were installed. I put the control arms at the lowest camber possible.

You just answered your own question with your question. lol

You need an alignment. When you adjust camber on the rear arms you affect the toe. Any time you adjust the camber you then have to reset the toe. Getting an alignment will fix the issue.

If you are running camber specs that are far from stock you may need aftermarket toe arms too as the stock ones don't have much adjustment to them.

But I just figure im doing something wrong, I mean I have so much toe I can't even go above 20. I guess what im looking for is if this has happened to someone else on here of if i installed them wrong. I don't know.

Okay cool thank you, getting an alignment first thing tomorrow, so I will see what happens I guess. Im just at -1 prob for camber, so nothing insane, just worried they wont be able to fix it.

When you lower the car, camber increases and you get toe out as well. I lowered 1" and the rear was all over the place until I got an alignment. It's been locked in ever since. Put a tiny bit of toe in on the rear and either zero toe in front or a tiny bit of toe out for more turn-in response.

Alright cool, thanks guys for all the help and hopefully everything gets squared away tomorrow.

When I swapped UCAs I had 1.5° toe out. Shit gets crazy when you mess with suspension bits. Lol
