Snapped Rear Toe Rod (upper)

Everyone ever heard of someone breaking their rear upper toe arm?
Cause I did..


I haven't touched them in 12 years.


(searched around a bit and I found other reports of people who did so I feel a bit better..)

rear upper toe arm?
theres only one toe arm in the rear (one per side)
are you talking about RUCAs?
this post is incredibly vague.
did you break a stock arm? aftermarket? did you slide sideways into a curb? did it just break on its own while your car was parked? Do you live in the rust belt?

Not the rear upper control arm.
The upper toe rod, the one that adjust toe. You can google "240sx rear toe arm" and it shows it.


It was OEM but with poly bushings. I probably should have greased the bushings more often, or done less clutch dumps or both.

I believe you're talking about the traction rod.

I've only seen them break with poly bushings.

It's the reason I've been on a 10+ year diatribe of metal bushings or stock rubber bushings and nothing in between.

Rear suspension needs to move in a couple different axes which poly doesn't want to do.

right, but there is no LOWER toe rod, so when you refer to it as the UPPER toe rod, . . . . .

Lower control arm

Rear upper control arm (camber)

Traction rod (rear caster)
