Here it is, I hope. As you can see it is adjustable. Stock it is fixed. This alos comes with a second piece to accomodate adjustability. My guess is an easier way to do toe. The second is a sway bar link but seems to long, any ideas

You guys call yourselves RX-7 owners..





tsk tsk.

Surely you guys should recognize the front subframe, and the control arm..

Of course, you have the ball joint at the very end, but that heimjointed piece in the middle... That's a swaybar endlink.

tsk tsk..

Thanks for your pitiful answer of the obvious. Maybe you didn't notice how long that endlink was. WHY?
Also, my second pic did not post either so here it is. Why is the length adjustable as opposed to fixed like stock. Notice the additional pieces to accomodate the adjustability. My best guess is an easier way to do toe. Just want to be sure.

Does it replace the entire control arm (front) or are you talking about the trailing arm (rear). If in the front, how does it install. Would it etter than the delrin bushing?

Here is the link to the rear subframe mentioned in the last reply. I really suck with computers.

You asked what is it, you didn't ask why it's so long. Obviously it wasn't so OBVIOUS since no one else figured it out.

As to why it's so long, my guess would be that it's designed for an circle track style adjustable swaybar setup that rides over the frame rails. You can see the black clamp on the end of the rod end, and that leads me to believe I'm right.. But I don't know, since I wasn't there.
