are there any other options to replace the rear lateral links w/adjustable units other than the whitline pieces?
it is for my 90 fwd it has a serious toe out problem which makes for some great turn in and rotation but is way to hard on tires for daily driving. so i want to have it possible to have o toe for street and more toe out for rallyx.

There are JIC magic arms, but they are several times the $$

Toe is adjustable with the stock suspension.
If you alignment guy/place can't get it back into spec, something is either bent or they don't know what they're doing.

yep something is bent. im hoping it is just the control arms. the adjustment cam bushing is at the most toe-in setting and still very toe-out. cant see what's bent though and have had 3 different shops look at it. all very competent. one a master subaru tech. i want more adjustment that i can change myself.
those jic are pretty. but too much $

You think the Knuckle could be bent?

I have the noltec's. they are a dream when it comes to alingment.
someday I will post pics of the rear end.
It has quite a bit of camber.

Can you post a link to a vendor?

if by knuckle you mean where the strut bolts up to and where the arms are bolted to i sure hope not. the car has seen alot of rallyx abuse in the last few years and has clipped a curb hard enough to tear through the outer layer of the sidewall. im sure 50mph into a rutted 180 deg hairpin probably hasnt helped either.

Bent struts that still function normally are common on WRX that have touched curbs. Maybe your strut is bowed near the top.
