    Hey guys,

    I aligned my car today, and I'm having some problems with the rear toe.

    Basically, I'm -.12 on the left, and +.12 on the right. Both factory adjustment cams are maxed out. I tried pushing/pulling on the wheel....blah blah blah blah....checking the alignment machines targets.....I've eliminated all options, besides I need something to adjust the toe further.

    Is there any available aftermarket lateral links that have a jam nut style adjustment instead of cams? Something like what the Toyota Avalons have, like pictured below

    Thanks

    Thanks "bob".

    So anyways. the inboard mounting bolt (the one wiht the cams), the hole for it is elongated to allow for that bolt to move around right? how to I keep that from happening with the new lateral links? Can I completely lock out the factory adjustment, or will the lateral links give me factory adjustment plus some. I hate cams, they get knocked out of alignment too easy. I would rather just get rid of them all the way

    The one in the OP? It does now that you mention it. On the inner side of it.
