The rear toe arm has one end that slides in a slot to adjust toe. When the Tech adjusts toe, he will unbolt at the slotted end, move that end into proper position then tighten the bolt. Your car's arm is at the end of the slot. The slot can be widened a bit to increase adjustment range.

Your rear thrust angle is perfect but it could use another half-degree or so of toe-in for stability. Until the toe bar slot is widened, the Tech can't fix it. Your front toe-in could be reduced so your tires will last longer.

 

Thanks, got it. I'll ask him to reduce the front toe in and see what he says about widening the slot. Are these adjustments (camber and toe) independent of each other, or is camber also affected when you adjust toe?

On a previous response on this thread referring to brake pad dust you mentioned "If you hate cleaning your wheels, you'll have to go with some type of ceramic pad." Can you elaborate on cleaning your wheels? Clean your wheels when you wash your car or take the wheels off and really get the dust out of your rotors etc.? (I detail my car at least every 2 weeks with exceptions).

 

Camber and toe are independent.

Cleaning your wheels when washing the car. If you wash every two weeks, brake dust doesn't have much time to accumulate.

 

Thanks. Hey I had to take this pictures and run them by you before I talk to the tech. Do these arms have the capability to widen the slot?

 

I always adjust toe then camber since toe can throw camber out

 

Having never adjusted the rear suspension myself, I am not going to answer that question. There are plenty of guys who have, you'll have to await them.

 

What slot?

 

Total Toe as per specs in the front now.

From 0.11 to 0.04 degrees total toe in the front now. Not sure it's subliminal but steering wheel felt a bit smoother. I think the "spc toe bolt template.pdf" attachment points to the "slot" being talked about earlier. In my case I'd have to purchase the camber link and toe bolt to bring the rear within specs since total toe rear adjustment has been maxed out.
