Lower Control Arm
The lower control arm is cast aluminum with bushes pressed into the inner section of the arm which provides for the attachment to the rear subframe. The bushes are located between brackets on the subframe and secured with bolts and nuts. The lower control arm has a platform which provides attachment for the spring and a location hole for the attachment of the stabilizer bar link.
The outer section of the lower control arm has a second bush which attaches to the forward end of the wheel knuckle. A cross axis joint at the rearward end of the lower control arm attaches to the wheel knuckle rear bush by links which provides castor control.
Toe Link
The toe link is pressed steel with one end having a bush pressed into a machined bore.
The inner bush locates between brackets on the rear subframe and is secured with a special eccentric bolt, washer and nut. This allows for the adjustment of the rear wheel toe. Rotation of the bolt moves the eccentric head within a recessed slot in the bracket, allowing the toe to be adjusted within the set limits.
