Rear Traction arms.

Last winter I did a major overhaul of my suspension. Two of things I fitted to the rear were adjustable traction rods and I deleted the hicas. The kit I used effectively converts you to NA style rear arms. The issue I have, is the passenger traction rod has a habit of changing, pot holes etc cause it to change. I did consider locktiting it, however I've started to wonder, do I actually need this extra complication.

 

The ball joint on the lower arm is a fixed position. So toe adjustment is changed by front AND rear arms. This is just over kill, no? A fixed length traction arm should in theory make life simpler.

 

So should I, replace with fixed length stock ones or just lock tite the adjustable ones because there is benefit.

i only have adjustable camber and toe via the adjustable hicas delete arms that's it the traction arm is stock

If your running lower ride height than stock you will need adjustable traction rods to be able to correct the toe change from the suspension being more compressed, the traction rods and rear control arms help the suspension to remain as close as possible to a uniform arc during suspension compression, it will never be perfect as toe change occurs naturally during compression but having the ability to make small adjustments helps keep things in an overall good setup, if your adjustable rods are coming loose maybe just replace with new/better parts.
