These are available on rockauto
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.p...&cc=1274307 So do you just replace the lower two bolts that mount to the knuckle with these? And will that adjust the forward/backward angle? (caster?) I know to adjust the Camber you need those sliding plate top strut mounts. Does anybody use these? Mines not lowered but it's been punched in the nose before. I just want to make sure that once I get some new struts it will be fully adjustable so they can line it up nice and straight. -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.

Toe is adjusted by the rear adjustable control arms. Front is adjusted by the tierod ends. ya know, after I posted it this morning and thought about it, that is exactly what I figured. ? the inner and outer tie rod would control the toe, and those arms in the back have some sort of a bolt on them too. The deal is , when I got it aligned the guy told me that the toe in the rear wasn't adjustable, and that was as straight as he could get it without replacing some bent component. now me thinks he's just too Lazy, if you look at that pic in the link it shows before measurements and after. it's as if he attempted to adjust the right rear a bit and then didn't finish it. for $6 I should just get them anyway. but I think they're $6 each. and I got a better look at them and what they do from the manufacturers web site http://www.northstarmfg.com/car/1994/Toyota/Celica http://www.northstarmfg.com/product/41-149.html http://www.northstarmfg.com/userfiles/file...m3df(18164).pdf This post has been edited by VavAlephVav: Mar 21, 2014 - 4:17 PM -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.
