SPL Parts 89-94 Nissan 240SX (S13) / 89-02 Nissan Skyline (R32/R33/R34) Front Offset Tension Rods

If you're looking to dial in your Nissan 300ZX's front-end alignment for sharper turn-in response, these offset tension rods from SPL Parts are a solid option. They let you adjust the front caster angle, which is key for optimizing how the car feels when you steer into a corner. Plus, they help correct any caster differences between the left and right sides, leading to more balanced handling. The stock rubber bushings can feel a bit vague, but these rods use low-friction spherical bearings that get rid of that mushiness, giving you a more direct connection to the road.

SPL Parts builds these rods from large-diameter (1 3/8 inch) Billet 6061-T6 aluminum, which is CNC machined and gun-drilled to keep them strong but lightweight. This helps reduce unsprung weight, which is always a good thing for suspension performance. The adjustment mechanism uses a 4130 Chromoly Double Adjuster that's also gun-drilled for weight savings, offering a wide range for precise caster tuning. They even use blue anodized titanium hardware to shave off even more weight without sacrificing strength. The 3/4-inch FK Rod Ends feature a Teflon liner, which is designed for quiet operation, smooth movement, and minimal deflection under load, making them reliable for both daily driving and track use.

These tension rods are sold as a pair and are proudly made in the USA. SPL Parts also designed them with mounting holes for their brake cooling deflectors, making it easy to add that upgrade if you plan on hitting the track.
