Adjustable tie rods


Recommended Posts

Adjustable tie rods, point me in the right direction.

car is mainly DD looking for rears that will give me more alignment adjustability with my current x74 suspension. Not sure I need the big buck full racing ones but open to ideas.

Thanks in advance

OEM are not adjustable and with an x74 lowered car I cannot adjust to degree (pun intended) that want need on the rear.

 

See descriptions from various aftermarket companies on subject.

 

"Adjustable Porsche 996/997 Cayman & Boxster Rear Toe Links will help restore the proper suspension geometry for lowered vehicles.. The factory control arm do not have the adjustment range needed to compensate when lowering your 996/997, Cayman or Boxster.. This results in poor tire wear and an insufficient contact patch.There are two major drawbacks to the factory links: 1) You can’t lower your car and maintain proper suspension geometry. The factory links create too much toe-in, which cannot be adjusted out, creating handling problems and excessive tire wear. 2) The factory links have rubber bushings, which make handling imprecise, especially in performance driving when suspension loads are highest."
