Our adjustable toe links are TIG-welded and powdercoated for long-lasting protection and designed to allow for adjustments to be made with the part installed on the car - you do not have to remove this part for toe adjustment!

Key Product Benefits:

Beautiful part, but I really think that you have to pick up additional noise going to a solid bushing. Not an issue for serious handling guys, but daily use... ?

Daily use will be fine, we’ve been personally driving our 2015 with these parts installed for months and we're happy to report zero noise whatsoever - even with our subframe bushing inserts! There is no increase in NVH with these parts, period. With the S550’s new IRS you can add solid ends and not have to worry about noise like you previously had to with a solid axle. It’s one of the many benefits of the new IRS.

I just ordered a set. Threaded rear toe adjustment is huge. No slip/slop when tightening like the factory parts.

Can't wait to install mine and do an alignment.

I started looking at this some more.

Do these completely eliminate the factory eccentric bolt for toe adjustment?

You reuse the factory eccentric bolts although included in the kit are blocking plates that you install within the cams of the bolt.

[MENTION=10893]David@Steeda[/MENTION] could you elaborate on this a little more please. The instructions didn't specify where they go.

You can use the factory bolt and cam washer (option 1 in the instructions) or use the Steeda bolt and lock out plates (option 2).

Here you go, right from the instructions:

5. Option 1: Measure center to center of the factory toe link and record. Note: There could be a slight variation from one side to the other, so be sure to work with one side at a time, or record which side you are working on. It is also helpful to lay the original toe link down next to the Steeda toe link to get their lengths close. The jam nuts can be tightened easier once the toe links are installed.

6. Install the Steeda adjustable toe link, in the same orientation as the stock link. Install so the gusset is facing downward at the knuckle end. Start both bolts by hand. Place the provided 14mm lock nut onto the factory bolt installed in the knuckle end of the toe link.

7. Place the stock cam washers and bolt into the subframe mount, and position the cam in the same position that was marked in step 3.

8. Option 2: Using Steeda’s lockout plates, install them so the hole is located towards the center of the car. Using the supplied 14mm bolts and locking nuts, install lockout plates on both sides (2 per side) mounted all the way to the inside of the sub frame. See figure 3. If this option is used, approximately ¼” of length will need to be added to the toe links.

I have those instructions, and maybe I am just having an extreme brain fart, or a massive reading comprehension deficit right now, but I don't see anything about having to use the lock out plates with the factory eccentric bolts as you mentioned right here.

This what you just said right here is exactly what Frank told me over the phone. Both of which are not in the instructions. Also, the video I watched on CJ pony parts did not use these lockout plates.

[MENTION=17026]Digital_Synapse[/MENTION] While instructional installation videos can be a great help, they aren't always all-encompassing. That's why reaching out to us directly (which you've done) will ensure you receive accurate info and any installation assistance.
