Rear toe on a C5 or C6 is set by the rear tie rods, and lowering the car moves their outer pivot out of position, which is what leaves a lowered Corvette feeling unsettled under throttle and over bumps. These replace the factory rear outer tie rod ends with a bumpsteer adjustable assembly whose pivot height is set by a stack of stainless steel spacers, so rear geometry can be corrected after a ride height or suspension change. Shanks are CNC machined from 9310 alloy at 190ksi tensile strength, turnbuckle bodies are black anodized 2024-T351 aluminum, and Teflon lined FK high misalignment spherical bearings replace the factory rubber joints so nothing binds at full suspension travel. Made in the USA.
