Restore Proper Rear Toe

Lowering your suspension can push rear toe outside factory specifications.

The BE74 toe arms provide:

• ±3° rear toe adjustment
• Improved rear alignment
• Better suspension geometry
• Reduced tire wear
• Enhanced vehicle stability

Proper rear toe adjustment is critical for predictable handling and long tire life.

Improve Handling

Correct rear toe settings help improve the overall driving experience.

Benefits include:

• Better straight-line tracking
• Improved cornering stability
• More predictable steering response
• Increased rear-end confidence
• Better chassis balance during aggressive driving

These advantages are especially noticeable on lowered or performance-oriented vehicles.

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

The adjustable toe arms are built for long-term durability.

Construction highlights include:

• Heavy-duty steel tubing
• Corrosion-resistant protective coating
• Precision adjustment mechanism
• Integrated ball joints
• Built for street and motorsports use

The corrosion-resistant finish helps protect against rust, moisture, and road debris.

Rubber Bushings for Comfort

Unlike solid spherical bearings, these toe arms use high-quality rubber bushings.

Benefits include:

• Reduced road vibration
• Lower suspension noise
• Improved ride comfort
• Better isolation from harsh impacts
• Longer service life for daily-driven vehicles

Rubber bushings provide a balanced compromise between comfort and handling performance.

Easy On-Car Adjustment

One advantage of these adjustable toe arms is that they can typically be adjusted without removing them from the vehicle, simplifying the alignment process.

Typical installation steps include:

1. Safely raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the factory rear toe arms.
3. Install the adjustable BE74 toe arms.
4. Set an initial toe adjustment.
5. Torque hardware to factory specifications.
6. Perform a professional four-wheel alignment.
