Hi guys

I need some new front tension rods, but I've been advised to get bushed type not rose joint. I've had a look online and can only seem to find the rose joint type, so anyone seen the brushed type online anywhere?

Cheers

I think I might have to back to std and poly brush them, I think that's what I'm being told. I've got some aftermarket rose joint type at the minute and they are squeaking quite a bit now.

Apex sell hardrace bushed ones. I have them. Tbh though it's a pointless endeavour since S15 has 7.5deg caster as standard.

yeah just stumbled across them while searching on SXOC (they also do the none racing spec as bushed which are cheaper). I've got some crappy aftermarket ones that came with the car so they need replacing.

I have the bushed apex tension rods. Very good and nice to have the caster adjustable. And stock caster is 6.5 degrees. 7.5 is ideal though!

My 10 / 2001 had 7.5 deg standard, and that was bang on the spec which was in the Hunter database.

I will check on our hunter tomo.

I was going off the info from here http://nissans15.com/spec.htm which I know is 60' minutes, its what I ment by 6.5!
Front Toe in 3 to 1
Camber -1°00'±45'
Castor 6°55'±45'
King pin inclination 14°00'±45'
Rear Toe in 5.2 to 0
Camber -1°25'±30'

i love the rear toe 5.2-0! Quite a margin!

i did my tracking Saturday but set my own specs so didn't look at the nissan option!
