I understand now. This picture clearly shows the camber/traction arms and where you would modify the toe bolt (with the red arrow).

no, those aren't - those are what's called "traction bars" - like I said above, they do NOT directly adjust toe (only the toe bolt as mentioned above can do that) - they change the toe setting by throwing all the other suspension geometry off...

Look at the pic in the link. Isn't the area in the blue circle and indicated with the red arrow not where you would elongate and add the new toe bolt? Now you're really confusing me.I understand now.

This is the wrong way to adjust your toe, when adjust with these arms it will get your toe in to spec but it going to throw off caster. The only correct way to do it is with the bolts.Originally Posted by kenchan

very true. i'm not sure why they even make these arms. i think companies simply make them because they know people will buy them. the correct toe bolts are only 45 bucks for the pair.Originally Posted by nismoGcoupe

Though expensive, both 350EVO and Jic offer a non adjustable rear radius rod package. This is the same arm that you guy's are correctly ID'ing as the wrong place to adjust toe from. 350EVO call's it a trailing arm and Jic call's it a traction rod. Key reason to us them has nothing to do with trying to adjust toe as these two arms CANNOT adjust their length. You would use them to get rid of a bushing flex point that allow's load induced suspension geometry change (bad thing). Both these arms feature sperical bearings that do not flex under load vs the oem suspension's soft rubber bushings. Just wish they weren't so expensive. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/hopup1/jicmaretrrod.html

I have the Kinetics adjustables, but I will make sure my installer knows to make the traction rod the same length as stock before installing. Pretty easy, just install and adjust, then run bolt through before elongating, lock in place, then do the toe bolt mod.
