Replacing Toe Control Arm

[Kaz-kzukNA1]

Hi, all.

As a part of refresh on the suspension area and in order to get hold of spare arm for the future parts development, I decided to replace the toe control arm.

1. Removing the old arm.
Separating the ball joint is not too bad for this one. It will be a nightmare for the ones at the upper/lower on the knuckle/hub carrier.

2. Comparison of old/new parts
Decided to try the Type-R bush on this occasion. Will be using the old arm for the development.

3. New one installed. Time for another alignment service....

Hi Kaz,

Are you able to determine any difference now the R bushes are installed?

Sir Kaz, i've had good luck with a tape measure and a mate to hold the other end in the past if your only doing toe adjustments. Good way to save a few quid and get the adjustment you want and be sure it's correct.
Don't forget to roll the car forward and then back again about 3 meters to allow the suspension to settle in the new adjustment every time you make a move. Even a small one!
