These are curtesy of @Walt, although I'm sure there are some others out there we can add I've seen a lot of different versions of these over the years. First time I've seen such a fancy drawing though.

they do add more stiffness to the rear suspension, (reduced rear wheel steer when hard cornering) but i could never keep the ball end or Heim joints from being worn out in just over a year. they were sloppy and clunky, wasted $300 locally for new ends (welcome to canada ) just for the new ends to have almost as much slop as the old ones- the rear wheel alignment could not be set properly....
installed oem rear toe bars, no more clunking, wheel alignment went easy.
they do look nice , compared to the oem stamped steel toe bars.

I always wondered if that was just me, mine clunk and I hate it. Maybe I need to just go back to OEM. Ugh :(
 
Jupz they rattle.
And I changed the rod links every year.
Did not mather if I used the expensive or cheap ones.
That is why I made the red ones in the first picture.
With PU bushing.
Those were not cheap to build either.
But at least they are quiet.
I only did not made a drawing from those.

Good to know that there is a design that doesn't clunk. I'll have to see if I can get some made, knowing they actually work and are quiet makes me want them bad!
