TEIN Pillowball Tension Rods are designed to replace the OEM bushing type rods. The pillowball type ends help to improve both vehicle acceleration and deceleration by limiting the movement (deflection under load) of the lower arms. Also increases steering response and reduces roll at corners. The Carbon Steel tension rod includes an adjustable turnbuckle, which allows for adjustment of caster angle for more precise wheel alignment.
Features:
Machine Structured Carbon Steel S45C Rod
NWB 3-piece rod end - HRT16E
NWB Pillowball with complete rubber cover
Serration bolt is pressed into the rod and constructed of High Tension SCM435 material
the product was easy to install, but the instructions were not in english. I had to look and see where the part was going to figure it out. I had already purchased polyurethane bushings(the kit doesn't provide) but it was straight-forward. I took measurements of the factory tension rods to get a reference for minimal adjustment. Once everything was installed, I took the car for an alignment. Then everything came into place. Steering, drivability improved. better road feel. turning and cornering were more precise. More all around fun.
