would replacing the rear beam lateral link help with real alignment toe issues? I planned on replacing both the lateral link and control rod. Any suggestions would help. Thank you.

 

The Lateral Link really just helps body roll around turns.


I did both just to refresh them in case the corrosion on the link was approaching compromise or the bushings were shot.


Neither was a problem and no change in anything was netted. Make sure the bushings are OK on the trailing control arms of the axle beam as well.



Unless you have a bent chassis, everything that can affect Toe in is with Tie Rods (power Steering Rack), Strut assemblies and Lower Control Arm assemblies.


Hope this helps.

 

thank you, this definitely helps. Good info and I'll look at the trailing control arm bushings.
