Which Rear Supension Links Adjust Setup?
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me which rear suspension links are used when adjusting the suspension geometry? I have just had some new springs fitted and only want to pay once for having the geometry setup correctly. The car is 12 years old and sooner father than later it will require some new link bars. Therefore I would sooner replace the adjustable ones now, before having it setup.
Any advice would be greatly recieved.

The toe-link (the one with an eccentric bolt at the chassis mounting point - middle link, forward side) adjusts the rear toe in/out.
The link at top/center has an eccentric bolt, and adjusts camber on older models, on newer models this link is a standard length.
I don't know the year/serial number at which the change was made. I think that it was about '87 or so.
The other links simply bolt in/bolt out.
