Just got my RUCAs and toe arms from ebay

[s13pignose]

Yeah just like the title says. They're def not name brand, but got em for a good price all as a set new. So as long as they don't break or rust I'll be more than happy. I don't even focus on drifting, autocross, or anything like that since my car is an automatic. So I hope the don't break.

Anyway my question is how do you adjust them? I was freakin out for a sec. Mainly cause all the nuts on one RUCA were all stacked back to back, but the second arm had two nuts back 2 back then a small gap b/w them and the last nut. SO I was like sh*t. There's basically one small nut and two big ones, and the smaller is on the actual joint and I knew that was adjustable. I tried turin the bigger ones and they seemed stuck, so I figure they didn't adjust. Later I twisted a lil harder and got em all to move, so they're the same length now. 3 nuts in all.

So are all 3 suppose to move or should any be welded in place? Also how do you go about tightening the nuts, and which ones do you do what with. I tust need to know so I can tell who ever installs them, because my instructions are all in japanese. Also if you got the time, can you explain adjusting and tightening toe arms too? If not, if anyone can provide me with links for installing the two I would REALLY appreciate it.

This is for a 95 s14 btw.

Thanks!!

Thanks! I got it and emailed you back. Anyone else feel free to put your 2 cents in still.

Well you need to goto an alignment shop that can adjust that for you. there's 2 nuts on each side of a larger one, it acts as a locking nut to the them from backing out. loosen both outter nuts and then you can move the middle one to adjust.

OKAY, I've come to realize that what i thought was a middle nut is really like a threaded sleeve. Picture a metal sleeve with threads inside and out but with hex/nut shape opening.

So the order of things on my arms is like:pillow ball->small nut->sleeve->big nut->control arm.

So I'm suppose to loosen the 2 nuts. Next, I move the sleeve in or out till alignment/length is right. Then thread the larger nut all the way flush with the control arm. I guess that is suppose to keep the sleeve from accidently screwing in or out the arm. If I have this much right, what does the small but do?

You guyz have no idea how much I appreciate this help. I learned my lesson, and I won't get anything else unless it has english instructions lol.

bumping up cause I wanted to see what 808DRFTR had to say.

Can anyone answer this though. I talked to virus77 by email on this topic, and when I asked about my toe arms, I asked him which end should I adjust in and out on them. You see, unlike my upper camber arms, the toe arms I got seem to have it where you can thread the fork end in and out. I'm sure if I should adjust that way, or with the pillow ball end, or both of them. Me and virus77 were thinking you adjust both ends to equal lenghts to until it is in spec....only to prevent breaking.

I know not all toe arms come like mine, and some are not threaded at that end.

What do you think?
