Product Information

A pair of adjustable front tension rods (caster rods) that replace the factory rods and their rubber bushings. The wide caster range lets the front end be aligned for sharper turn-in and lets left and right caster be matched, while spherical rod ends in place of the soft rubber give a more direct steering feel. Stainless steel spacers are included to tune anti-dive geometry.

Documents: Installation Instructions (PDF)

Can left and right caster be set separately?

  • Yes. Each rod adjusts on its own, so a difference between left and right caster can be corrected during the alignment.

What temperatures can the rod end liners handle?

  • The PTFE liner in the FK rod ends is rated from -65 to 325 degrees F, for street and track use.
