toe links and trailing arm question
 
im looking at getting new toe links and trailing arms, ive replaced the pillow bushings once already with stock ones and they are already gone again.

so i was looking at these from rotary performance with the heim joints and i was wondering if anyone has experience with them, or if they could suggest better ones for around the same price, i dont wanna spend more than 450 for the toe links and trailing arms, i already replaced the solid diff mount bushings with ones from rotary performance, and they are great, so i figured these would compliment them pretty nice. http://www.rx7.com/store/rx7/DragLaunchKit2.html

if anyone can tell me thier thoughts on these or suggest another set it would be very much appreciated, thanks guys

The 6 pillowballs that you probably replaced are not in the trailing arms and toe links. (Actually, the end of the trailing arm bolts into a new pillowball, but you get the idea).

The trailing arm front bushing goes bad and the small pillowball in the toe links often go bad.

Sorry I can't suggest aftermarket brands, but I'm told that in general these don't last quite as long as the OEM's did.

I purhased rear lower, upper control arms and toe links from a 2000 RZ FD and their great so far! Could that be an idea?

I'm going to have a set of OEM toe links and trailing arms with Superpro polyurethane bushings installed available soon, PM me if interested :).

the 2000 RZ sounds kinda nice, but does anyone have experience with tein toe links and trailing arms....

but the bushings i did replace were in the inner part of the toe link, im on the second set thats broken. and i heard that the chromoly heim joints last a lot longer than oem

I have the toe links and trailing arms from rotary performance. I have had them about two years and they seem too be OK. Every once in a while they squeek but I give them a shot of WD40 or a mix of grease and WD40 and they're good for another few months.
