So, my bushings on my factory tension rods are out. I was wanting to make sure and see if this would cause my car to shake extremely violently when I hit bumps. I also need an alignment. I plan on tein Adj. Pillowball mounts.

So, the question, to be more clear - would the bad bushings in the tension rods make my car shake?

well, you need tension rods anyway if the bushings are shot. install them and take it from there.

Okay, nevermind. Aspecproducts wont honor my transaction that already went through and was paid for. Something about Tein Tension rods being priced higher because of a different supplier, blah blah blah. So I wonder what would have happend if I didn't call.

anyone know where to get a good Tension Rod from a place that has current info?

Np bro, I'm going to be getting a pair of SPL tension rods(blue ones) soon. SPL is always redesigning and improving their products which I like very much.

Can't go wrong with SPL parts, i got their outer tie rod ends and they are awesome.
Let us know how the car feels after you get the tension rods on there.
