We're excited to announce that we finally have our toe rod kit available to compliment our trailing arms and camber rods. These toe rods use the same type of aluminum links with steel rod ends as our other rear suspension components. The kit also comes with a batwing mounting bracket that uses the stock M10 mounting holes and is self indexing for the 1/2" bolts that the rods mount to.

This pic is with the safety plate removed for clarity.

The indexing features on the back side of the batwing bracket.

On the knuckle side a high strength 17-4 PH Stainless Steel adpater mounts the rod to the knuckle.

This pic shows the knuckle with the safety washer removed for clarity.

All the details of the kit can be found on our website by following this link

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.

how do you keep these clean on the street? Is there a regular maintenance cycle?

The easiest way is to use a rod end boot.

They can typically be had from a vendor like Seals It

Being Teflon lined, no there is no maintenance.

Tom,
It would be great if you could offer these boots as an option. One stop shopping makes it so much easier.

I wasn't planning on putting any boots on mine.

With teflon seals they stay dry so they really don't attract dirt. The seal should wipe most of the crud out of the way without scarring the bearing surface.

I have found the same thing on mine, as I usually check the links after each time at the track. I certainly wouldn't blame anyone for using a boot however, especially on the street.

Tom, Let me know if you decide to offer the boots. I'll then order the Toe Rod Kit with boots and also boots for the other pieces you've supplied me.

Thanks.

The boots are great! Here is what they look like for the lower front shock eyelet. This is a Hardbar Penske 7500 for the C4/C5/C6.

Just updated some of the pics in the OP to reflect the safety washers we have put in place on the kit.

I also have a set of boots on the way for fitment. If they work I hope to have them shortly.

Tom, Great news on the boots. Let me know when you've got them organized. As I said, I'd like boots for the toe rods that I'll order and also for the trailing arms and camber rods that I ordered before.

Thanks again for looking into this.
