Key Features

Designed with performance and durability in mind, the SPL Titanium Series Front Tension Rods feature:

• Large diameter (1 3/8") billet 6061-T6 aluminum rods for strength and lightweight performance
• Low-friction articulating 3/4" FK spherical bearings eliminate mushy rubber bushings for a more responsive steering feel
• Adjustability of front caster to optimize turn-in response and compensate for alignment variances
• Engineered for maximum performance and durability in demanding driving conditions
• Precision-machined components for consistent fit and function
• Corrosion-resistant coatings to withstand harsh environments

Construction & Design

The tension rods are machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. The use of FK spherical bearings ensures smooth articulation and minimal play, contributing to precise steering feedback. The design emphasizes lightweight construction without sacrificing structural integrity, making these rods suitable for high-performance applications.

Driving Feel & Feedback

These tension rods help improve steering response and feedback, providing a more direct and engaged driving experience. The adjustability allows you to fine-tune front caster settings, enhancing turn-in agility and overall handling dynamics. The elimination of rubber bushings results in a more immediate connection between the steering wheel and the wheels, giving you greater confidence during aggressive maneuvers.

Installation & Fitment

Installation involves replacing the stock tension rods with the SPL Parts Titanium Series units. Due to their bolt-on design, installation is straightforward for those with basic suspension knowledge. Proper alignment should be performed after installation to ensure optimal handling characteristics.
