TomWeight Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Went to get a full 4 wheel geometry done last night and the guys couldn't do the rears due to seized toe bolts. No biggy but I did get chatting to one of the guys that said he personally would consider getting rear toe rods instead of just replacing the bolts, washers etc and moving on. Just wondering what peoples opinions are, whether it's worth going for while I'm at it or just replace the bolts and get on with it. Worth mentioning that mine is basically upgraded stock and won't see any track life ( at least not for now ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 If they're seized that bad then the bush in that end of the arm could well be scrap anyway. What are the ball joints like in those arms ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWeight Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Don't know, only took it to F1 autocentres as they were the only ones near me with the full works so haven't seen it myself. Got a look around when I changed the wheels a week or 2 back and they didn't seem that bad but haven't had it up on the lift yet to get a proper look, might be worth a full inspection myself before I do anything you reckon?

Mike2JZ Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 The only way you will find out if you need a replacement arms is by getting the bolts out (cut them if need be). Out of all the arms that I took off mine, out of all the siezed bolts I removed, only one had managed to sieze itself to the inside of the arm's bush. So I had to really destroy that bush to remove it from the subframe. Could be lucky, or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
