Default C4 Toe Link Video

I thought my rear toe link might be bad after 28 years and over 150,000 miles. I was getting lateral slop from the rear at high speed; especially when driving on rutted concrete freeway. Toe link checked out OK upon static check, so I pulled the spare tire carrier to put a camera on the center link and both tie rod ends, and drove around the block each time to be sure. Toe link turned out to be fine; just needed new rear shocks. Went with KYB - all better now.

Letting the motor be the music; stock exhaust right near mic with original resonators. Sounds just right on the street - deep and not too loud.

Cool video, I love seeing how things work. I've wanted to do this on mine.
What camera did you use?

Thanks for sharing.

I used a Polaroid XS100 HD Extreme (but in low rez) screwed directly on a 1/4-20 bolt sticking out of a round 2" magnet from a hardware store. I had an early GoPro, but they are taller than the Polaroid; and the XS100 kit was also only $70 new when I got mine. It is not the quality of a GoPro4 4K, but I would put the Polaroid XS100 near the GoPro3 for a fraction of the price. Won't cry (much) if I lose it.

@Black LS2
Thanks for the feedback.
Looks like a nice little camera. Price is about double what you paid now. I'm going to look into getting one.
