I just got a set of 2 rear Camber and 2 rear toe adjusters from Pete of Pedders fame. I was having some trouble getting my rear alignment the way I wanted it and could not get the 2 sides to match because we ran out of adjustment on one side. One of the OEM toe adjusters also felt like it would tighten correctly.

The Pedders pieces look much more heavy duty and are designed to give a wider range of adjustment. I had a new OEM toe adjuster ( with old nut and w/o the other excentric washer) so here are photos of the OEM and Pedders pieces:

Instead of the one time use, OEM nuts, Pedders also includes jam nuts.
These pieces look very well made and strong.

Can't see the pic's from work but "Son of a gun"!! I just had my alignment done two days ago. Would have been nice to know these were out there.
I will say that the guys at the alignment shop were impressed with the suspension. They said that our cars were like the BMW's. I thought that was a nice complement.

You'll be removing and replacing 4 bolts in the rear suspension. The inner toe link bar bolt and the inner lower control arm bolt on each side.

Since these are eccentric and are where the adjustments are made, you should have it aligned after replacing these.

Is this something I should do when I get my Street 1 kit & trailing arm bushings put on?

Or do I not really need them?

Because will I need a wheel allignment after the Street 1 & trailing arm bushings?.......
