    Default '86 mr2 rear end suspension "Q".

    So i was spinning away some wrenches to get the old c52 out so's that i can put in the new c56 (yay) and suddenly noticed my torsion bar (or according to the BGB "strut rod") had a nice little bow in it. I checked the opposite side and the same thing... now does anybody know if this is the way they should be or should they be straight? Im already trying to source JIC.

    Thanks

    Do you mean the trailing arm or the toe control arm?

    I've had bent toe control arms and all was good, come to think of it they are all adjustabe so there shouldn't really be a problem with them being slightly bent.
