Default Adjustable tie rods

Adjustable tie rods, point me in the right direction.
car is mainly DD looking for rears that will give me more alignment adjustability with my current x74 suspension. Not sure I need the big buck full racing ones but open to ideas.

Thanks in advance

Why do you need them? Are you looking for bump steer adj or just toe adj? Maybe you mean adj control arms?

How are you limited now? I'm pretty new to this platform, but it seems unusual that a small drop would limit your toe adj unless you were dialing in some crazy amount of toe.

Looks like they are $500, but what are they going to do for you? Only good if you want to adj the toe curve not the static toe. If this isn't for track use seems like a waste of money. Am I missing something?

Also, measuring/ adj bump steer is probably $500 in labor anyways.

The OEM eccentric bolt and washer on passenger rear not giving enough adjustment alignment guy and my indy both agree easiest solution is to just buy an adjustable rear toe tie rod and be done with it. Just looking for options.

I had same problem
Expensive yes but well worth it
Adjustability plus you can feel the difference
Rear end fells really planted and solid under load now
I got both dog bones and toe kit
