The toe rod is responsible for maintaining toe settings of the the rear wheels similar to tie rod ends on the front end. This ensures that the wheels remain set to a fixed position, not erratically pointing inward or outward under loading. The factory rods are made from flimsy stamped steel and use soft rubber bushings at the mounting points. Under load, deflection can cause poor launch stability, inconsistent handling and decreased braking ability. BMR toe rods are made from heavy duty 1" x 2" heavy wall DOM and use our spiral fluted, low deflection polyurethane bushings. Quick and easy install with no decrease in ride quality. Available in black hammertone or red powdercoat.
