s14 and 300zx tension rods? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My tension rod bushings are shot on my s14. Totally cracked and leaking fluid. I have found a set of 300zx tension rods and new polyurethane bushings already installed for dirt cheap. I was just wanting to know if anyone has tried to install the 300zx ones in a s14 before?

Z32 tension rods are the same length as S13, a little shorter than S14.

Poly tension rod bushings crack lower control arms. Pass on this one.

One inch shorter to be exact. You'll run some nasty caster if you put them on.

Yes. Spherical bearings allow for rotational movement.
