i searched and searched but no luck... does anyone know of a company that makes the bushing on the spindle side of the rear toe controller in poly-urethane, hard rubber, metal, or what ever...

i just want to know if any one has changed these...

BTW, i have a 95 S14 and my bushings are deflecting about half an inch and hitting the bottom of my strut

thanks for the help guys... speed safely

If you are talking about the bar pictured here, labeled the Toe link; I believe Whiteline has bushings for them. Contact PDM. If you want to have toe adjustability (or have it in the future), buy the Battle version bar! It has sphericals so you'll never have to worry about deflecting!:D

to add a little more clarity... i already have the battle version stuff... but the bar mounts on both ends; one end is solid mounted to the rear subframe and the other end is connected to a soft rubber bushing which is inserted to the wheel assembly... these soft rubber bushings are the one that i am looking for...

refering to your picture... on the side of the bar closer to the viewer are where the bushing are located (and it applies to all three bars)

speed safely...

http://www.SPLparts.com sells a 12 pc rear sperical bearing kit, for a measly 760$$.... or something like that...

I am making myself a kit soon for much much less, but I need money for the parts first hehe... Its pretty easy to do and requires some steel sleeves some, retaining clips, some sperical bearings, and some high misalignment spacers... So far Ive found everything I need excapt for the money.... Cant seem to find that part online for some reason... hehe

Other then solid and nissan (probably only sell the complete spindle) there should be some nismo ones as well IIRC like stated.

No money = no kit on my 240 :( ... I have sourced everything needed and know what is needed to make it work but parts alone is quite alot (hence the high splparts price, but not THAT much), even from a place with decent prices... Then I would have to fab up the sleeves with inner grooves for retaining clips.

But that, and a few other spherical parts are all sourced, but not funded :) I also have to get a second set of spindles just in case its a bit too harsh.... But The back would kick out nicely :)

So untill I can get a job and make money, I am forced to do low buget mods like my current project, the 16 bright white (it hurts) LED dome light mod :) Hahaha, but its been a wonderfull learning experience in itself these last few days...
