    New Rear Upper Control Arms On

    Well got the new rear upper and new balljoints on and I didnt even think about this, but are the arms/balljoints gonna affect my toe in the rear? Right now I should have -.98 camber in the rear, but if might affect my alignment in the rear Ill have to go get it aligned. I hope I shouldnt have to but wanted to know what yall thought.

    There is normally no adjustment available for us without some of the various mods mentioned in the forums. I have even seen adjustable rear control arms online. They have a threaded rod and sleeve built into the arm - great idea!

    The rear arms might affect camber, but that's about it. I just changed mine a few weeks ago and it looked like I went from slightly negative to slightly positive camber. They seem to have "settled" a bit, though. So, you don't need to get an alignment unless you're just due for one.

    They shouldn't affect the toe as the lower control arm and trailing arm will prevent the upper arm from doing that.
