Toe link end replacement?
Does anyone sell just the toe link ends, or is it standard to buy entire replacement arms?
I have an FD with TCS trailing arms and toe links (unknown miles on them, they were on the car when I bought it), and while the trailing arms are tight, the toe links are getting loose and the wheels both have slight play when grabbing at 9:00 and 3:00 - you can also see the toe link joint move slightly while doing this, so I'm pretty sure it's the problem.
I've searched and read some posts about people just buying replacement ends, but I can't seem to find anyone that sells them. If not, any recommendations on brand, or does the standard "they're all pretty good" rule still apply? It's a weekend street car.
Thanks.

You mean OEM toe links ( https://www.partswebsite.com/mazdapa...imagecallout=9 ), or aftermarket ( Megan Racing )?

I have TCS toe links now. I wasn't sure if anyone sold just the joints for setups like that, or if you could only buy OEM bushings for OEM toe links.

If you want OEM replacements, You will need to buy the whole link or find some used . If you go aftermarket, I think your you will need to try to find something to try to replace. Did you check with Banzai? If not, they look like they use typical forged rod ends / heim joints. In that case, see what the threads are and find some replacements online.

Yea, that's more or less what I was looking for. I wasn't sure if there was a known replacement size. I'll take one off, measure it and take a look at places, but I figured if someone knew the size it'd save me some time.
