Need small favor, Measure length of rear track arm
I need some help, I bought adjustible rear control arms sometime ago and i want my alignment to be as close to stock spec as possible. Could someone measure in centimeters the distance between the CENTER of the nut and bolt illustrated in the picture attached below???

Thanks in advance!

Stupid question I guess, but why would you want to adjust the length of the track arm? i.e., why replace this with an adjustable part?

Because the factory non-adjustible arms bearing cartridge was so old and worn that i had alot of chatter coming from my rear suspension at low speeds whenever i rolled over a small crack in the road. Also, because the dealer wants over $500 bucks for 1 control arm and Delubozparts control arms are $269.99 for a SET


"Price difference is big... Pacific Porsche sells the Control Arm for $511.76 with tax, thats $1023.52 for a set.

DelubozParts sells them for $269.99 a set. Thats a $753.53 price difference for a set."--Me

Where in the world are finding all the non-fancy OEM stuff for Boxster on Suncoast website?

Half the stuff you've been linking to them I've never seen on their site.

*Nevermind,took a look at Suncoast site and noticed that they updated it a bunch. Looks like they are trying to give Sunset a run for their money at prices.
