M2 toe links and trailing arms: I need dimensions and pics
Any of you folks out there with competition trailing arms and toe links, I would totally appreciate it if you could take a few quick measurements and/or pictures. I have a friend who is the fabricator/mechanic for a race team, that will make me any parts I need. I'm going to have him make the TA and TL and also a torque brace. I just need to tell him what length/diameter to make them. Thanks in advance.

Get under your car and measure yourself. :-) J/K. I would like to know as well for the same purpose, making my own, but after reading that they may cause unusual handling problems at high speed I feel a little aprehensive about going that route. I wouldn't mind adapting a flexable bushing repair into the archives of performance upgrades for our cars. Good luck.

You asked just at the right time. I have my M2 toe links sitting right here No pics but I can measure it for you.
The heim joints are 3 1/2" long each, 1 3/4 of that is thread. The hole/sleeve in the heim joint where the bolt goes through is app. 7/16". The sleeve itself stretches 1 1/2" wide which consists of one 3/8" spacer on each side of the joint. Confusing??
The actual rod is 6" long, about 1" in diameter, and looks like 9/16 threads.

If someone's having stability problems, I'd suggest they check their installation first, and then their alignment.
