Construction & Design

These tension rods are machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum, known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. The large diameter rods are designed to withstand high loads and provide increased chassis stiffness. The low-friction FK spherical bearings are engineered to eliminate deflection and provide a direct steering response, enhancing overall handling precision.

Driving Feel & Feedback

Replacing the stock rubber bushings with spherical bearings results in a more immediate and responsive steering feel. The adjustable nature of these tension rods allows you to optimize front caster for improved turn-in and cornering performance, giving you better feedback and control during aggressive driving or track sessions.

Installation & Fitment

Installation requires basic suspension tools and is a straightforward bolt-on process. Proper alignment should be verified after installation to ensure optimal handling and tire wear. Fitment is designed specifically for the Nissan 240SX (S13) model years 1989-1994, but verification against your vehicle’s specifications is recommended.
