Rear Toe Links BMW F2X/F3X + Eccentric Lockout

Adjusting the rear toe on your E8x E9x M or None M can be a pain in the in rear sometimes. If you don't do your own alignment, just asked your alignment technician. The eccentric just don't comply when you are shooting for that particular setting.

Install these to make the toe adjustments much easier. Locking out the eccentrics completely. Simply loosen up the clamps and fine-tune.

Free up bind in the OEM rubber bushings too for better articulation. Less flex from the bushings means less toe changes, that equals more traction!

SPL Parts Rear Toe Arms (RTA) increase stability and response by eliminating bushing deflection while providing an increased range of rear toe adjustment, necessary for lowered cars or for performance alignments. Even small changes to ride height and camber will affect toe settings and the wide range of adjustment allows you to maximize grip on a track car and extend tire life on a street car. The factory rear toe arms utilize an eccentric bolt and washer for adjustment and lack the precision and range that SPL Parts Rear Toe Links offer. Black Anodized and gun drilled 2024 Aluminum main links along with our 360 degree Rotating Clamp design allow for quick and precise adjustment.

3 piece FK Bearings Rod Ends manufactured in Connecticut feature a Teflon liner to provide quiet operation, low friction, smooth articulation, and eliminates bushing deflection under load. The PTFE liner is chemically bonded to the inner diameter of the race. The liner offers a very high load carrying capacity and has greatly increased dynamic wear characteristics. The operating temperatures of the liner ranges from -65º to 325ºF, offering robust reliability for both street and track use.

Sold as a pair.

Made in the USA.

Ride Effects?

For a daily commute driver: do these add any noticeable ride deterioration or noise? Thanks!

The slight increase in NVH is barely noticeable.

For reference, M cars have bearings instead of bushings in the toe arms along with a solidly mounted subframe.
