I am in the market for some ajd. tension rods for my S13, again. I bought the Megan Racing TR, but the OEM pins did not fit; they were too big for the TR. I had to use a narrower bolt, and I just didn't feel comfortable when I would hear the pin rattling around. I have since sold those off and am once again looking for a different set, since my car is pulling to the right a little with the stock TR. I am looking into the TR from Courtesy Nissan, and if IRRC, someone on here posted about them. Can anyone help me in figuring out which TR use fit around the OEM Pins?

Thanx in Advance!

How about just new bushings?

Already got them on. But, as I said, the car is pulling a little to the right, and YES, I already got an alignment. So, the question still stands.

Adjustable SPC ones are oem pins/screws..or studs...more like studs to me...

i like these cause they are much smoother since they have a rubber bushing...an not metal on metal.

think he means the studs that are on the ends of the tension rod that bolts down to the lower control arms...unless their the hollow tubes inbetween the bushing..

The large bolt that goes in the center of the bushing.

Do U know if the bushing is rubber or Poly? Also, is the bushing the same size as OEM? If it is, then I can replace the bushing with the Poly ones I have in my OEM TR; in the event the bushing is rubber.

It is the same size as the O.E.M one..I think the bushing is rubber i'm not to sure...i had these spc ones for a while about 8 months and one tore...so i burned the rubber out of the spc ones and added my energy suspension ones to it..the energy one fit on the spc ones..

I would think its just rubber come to think of it since they tore fairly easy...the energy ones are a great replacement for the spc bushing..and ride hella smooth...the energy ones will come with that hallow tube that goes through the middle of the bushing so you can bolt it up with the stock bolt..nice and snugg no play/rattle.

Just an FYI. I emailed Enjuku Racing and they said they could special order the SPC pieces in about 2 weeks. Support NICO sponsors!
