What is caster and why would I adjust it?

Caster is an alignment angle that affects steering stability and turn-in response. Adjusting it allows you to fine-tune how your car handles, making it feel more responsive when entering corners or more stable at higher speeds. Getting the left and right caster angles to match is also important for balanced handling.

What is the benefit of spherical bearings over rubber bushings?

Spherical bearings offer a much more direct connection between the suspension components and the chassis. Unlike rubber bushings, which can flex and distort under load, spherical bearings allow for precise articulation with minimal deflection. This results in improved steering feel and more predictable suspension movement, especially during aggressive driving.

Do these tension rods come with everything needed for installation?

These tension rods are sold as a pair and include the main adjustable rods and offset spacers. While they replace the stock tension rod bushings, it is always recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for any additional hardware or specific procedures required for your vehicle.

Product Details

If you're working on the front suspension of your 1995-1998 Nissan 240SX (S14) or 1994-1998 Nissan Skyline (R33), these offset tension rods from SPL Parts are a solid option for fine-tuning your alignment. They let you adjust the front caster, which is key for dialing in how your car turns in and for making sure both sides match up. Getting the caster right can really change how the car feels when you steer into a corner.

What sets these apart is the use of low-friction FK spherical bearings instead of the stock rubber bushings. This gets rid of that vague, mushy feeling you can get from old rubber, giving you a much more direct connection to the road. The rods themselves are made from large-diameter, gun-drilled 6061-T6 billet aluminum, which keeps them strong and stiff while also cutting down on unsprung weight. SPL also includes offset spacers that help you get more steering angle and keep your wheels from rubbing on the tension rods at full lock. The adjusters are made from 4130 chromoly and are also gun-drilled for weight savings, offering a wide range for precise caster adjustments. Even the hardware is blue anodized titanium to shave off more weight without sacrificing strength.

These tension rods are sold as a pair and are proudly made in the USA. They also feature mounting holes that make it easy to add SPL Parts' brake cooling deflectors if you plan on hitting the track.
