[ezza]

The gap (exposed thread), this concerns me as the bush sleeves on the arm float about. just need some reassuring.

On a side note if anyone has a spare toe arm inner bolt, nut & washer, the cam/adjustable one please let me know as i am missing one, unless it is ok for me to use a normal high tensile bolt now i have the adjustability of the arm itself?

[revcyanide]

hmmm my isis ones were certainly a lot wider than that, had pretty much no gap at all are s13/14 different at all maybe you could have gotten a s13 arm?

[slydin240sx]

s13/14 toe rods are the same.
the only thing different between the chassis are the tension and rucas.

[PoorMans180SX]

Yeah get yourself some washers to fill in that gap. Just make it even in the middle.

You can use a regular bolt, but make sure it can't move around in the bigger hole. They make lockout kits for when you have adjustable arms.

[ezza]

I was going to do that, il go ahead and do that then unless anything else comes to light

ahhhhhh, where can i get these kits?

thanks

Contact Fortune Auto, they should be able to correct it. Looks like they give you the wrong spacers or something.

[ezza]

No they're not

since nobody has made the statement after so many posts: s14 toe arm has longer gap in the subframe
in order to use s13 after market arms you need wider misalignment spacers.
btw, thought this has been common knowledge for years

[huffandpuff00]

^^^ yeah what he said...
its only the ruca and traction arms that are the same width...looks like you have s13 toe arms and s14 subframe.

did you buy the arms used?

[ezza]

Iv only been in the s body game for just over a year, thats my excuse :p

I brought them new from FA for my s14, hopefully they can sort it when there back from wherever

[MarcD]

They're usually supplied with both size collars mate, my Driftworks ones were.

I can sort the bolts for you man, PM me.

[doke! ドリフト]

I was sent 14 toe rods on accident and theyre a lot wider than s13 subframe. do not put spacers or whatever else on there, either swap out the ends if you can or send them back for s14 ones.

[ezza]

mine only came with one set of spacers per arm (with the gold twisty things holding them on)

expect pm'age marc

Pm'd you. We will send you some spacers. Sorry for the mix up!

Oh, well I did not know this. Thanks for the clarification.

[ezza]

Thanks Terry!

For future ref for anyone, s13 toe arms are 40mm s14's are 50mm
