AE86 Tension Rods - Emerald

We've designed these front tension rods with simplicity in mind, no fancy parts that cost more money to do a simple job, just tough and functional. The Corolla factory design has some good qualities, if you can keep them to your advantage. A lot of companies that make Heim style tension rods don't factor in that they shorten the swing radius of the tension rod. This increases Caster deviation throughout the range of motion. Did you want to increase the amount of Caster variability?

If you want a more solid front mounting arrangement then the stock rubber or our Polyurethane units, we also offer all new Tension Rod Mounts with built in Spherical bearings.

Made from 16mm steel bar with a heavy welded control arm mounting point, we've delivered some necessary features in a simple design. Who knows, maybe The engineers at Toyota were actually pretty smart?

With the front section fully threaded, all the Caster adjustment is done up front with just two nuts, just like factory. This has allowed us to keep the center section slimmer and cleaner so your tires and rims don't tag an adjuster sleeve causing damage and running the risk of jarring things loose. This design has also allowed us to offset the rod section through the middle to gain approximately 5/8" more tire clearance over stock arms and up to 1" more than center adjust styles tension rods allowing for more steering angle before the tire hits the tension rod.

Something else people are not usually concerned with but is good to keep in mind, since drifting doesn't always go as planned, these arms are fixable. With the simple design and lack of exotic parts, you can straighten, re-weld and re-use these if they get damaged. You can also call us if you need to replace just one, we manufacture in house and can deliver on single side replacements!
