Ratwagon1600 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Had my eye on a set of these for a while: https://technotoytuning.com/nissan/510/tension-control-rods-datsun-510 With our dollar so good at the moment, and the lack of any decent product here in Australia, i'm about to buy a set and get them shipped here. Before I do though, would appreciate advice on if there are any other American shops doing similar or better (although these look to be pretty damm good). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Jason Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 For the record, I've been very happy with my T3 camber plates. Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I like the t3 tc rod's nice and beefy. Fyi if you get sdjustable tc rod's stitch weld the tc pockets Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 We made the FutoFab TC rods a little different than the T3 units. We use a ball/socket on the chassis end with a dust boot, The LCA end has a clevis to allow for the change in angle between the LCA and TC rod when you change caster. The threads are RH & LH so rotating the sleeve extends or shortens the rod length. This is a change from our earlier design. T3 had sold tons of their adjustable TC rods, we just took a slightly different design approach and addressed the LCA/TC rod angle change that happens during adjustment. Here is a link to our TC Rods. http://www.futofab.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=40:datsun-adjustable-tc-rods&catid=22:datsun-510-suspension&Itemid=22 Quote Link to comment

Admittedly I've been bloody slack ordering these i.e I haven't (yet) :( Still plan to get a set hopefully soon. Unfortunately things like children's school fees and dental bills have severely depleted my play money. Thankfully our dollar is still keeping parity with the USD. Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Jason, Since you originally considered buying TC Rods from FutoFab we've gone thru a slight redesign. Check out this link. (I'll post a picture later) http://www.futofab.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=40:datsun-adjustable-tc-rods&catid=22:datsun-510-suspension&Itemid=22 The promised picture Quote Link to comment
