I'm looking for the pic(s) recently posted showing the heim jointed outer trailing arm adjustment link that extends forward and is attached to the long. I think it was on a track car, looked very nice, and it used what looked like an anodized aluminum link. Couldn't come up with anything doing a search. Anyone?

Thanks,

Andy

Finally getting some use out of the shoe-cam?

I'm on dial up right now.... (way to slow to find the picture in my vintage thread)
but I have a very similar toe adjustment brace on my car with a few pics of it.

it does some good in use too.
I had it work loose at the mounting point once this year, and could feel that something was weird or wrong while on the track.
When I came in we started looking for something loose in the rear suspension and found the forward mounting bolt loose.

the fact that I "thought" something felt funny kinda surprised me.
maybe I was hallucinating?

I also think that my forward mounting bolt worked loose from strain and pressure, but have no proof of that.

The forward mounting point extends through the entire long and ties the inside and outside of the long together. I think this is a secret brace technique that is often over looked in discussions about bracing a chassis.

Ok...

Brant,

Is that knurled and swaged tube a standard hardware item, or is it part of a kit? Source?
