GARAGE ACTIVE (SS-ACTIVE) FRONT PILLOW TENSION ROD

Description

GAIN ULTIMATE CONTROL OVER FRONT-END GEOMETRY AND STEERING RESPONSE. This Front Pillow Tension Rod replaces the factory front control arm’s compliance-prone bushings with a high-quality spherical bearing (pillow ball). It is designed for the BNR32, BCNR33, and BNR34 Skyline GT-R. As a result, it allows for precise caster adjustment and eliminates unwanted toe change under braking. Also, it delivers instantaneous, unfiltered steering feedback for competition-level handling precision.

Product Highlights

PRECISE CASTER ADJUSTMENT CAPABILITY: Unlike the fixed factory arm, this adjustable tension rod allows you to fine-tune the caster angle of the front wheels. Increased positive caster improves high-speed stability, enhances straight-line tracking, and sharpens steering return-to-center, allowing you to dial in the front-end feel to match your driving style and suspension setup.

ELIMINATES BUSHING DEFLECTION FOR PURE RESPONSE: The factory rubber bushing in the tension rod compresses under braking forces, causing a slight but detrimental change in wheel alignment (toe-out). Replacing it with a solid NMB pillow ball bearing completely eliminates this deflection, ensuring wheel alignment remains consistent under heavy braking and providing immediate, direct transfer of steering inputs.

USES HIGH-QUALITY NMB PILLOW BALLS: The critical spherical joint utilizes a bearing from NMB, a renowned manufacturer of precision industrial bearings. This ensures high load capacity, smooth operation, durability, and reliable performance under the extreme stresses of track use or aggressive driving.

ENHANCES STEERING FEEL AND BRAKING STABILITY: The combined result is a transformative improvement in driver communication. The steering becomes razor-sharp and communicative, while the front end remains planted and predictable during hard braking, inspiring confidence and allowing for more precise control at the limit.
