Part #: SPL TRE Z33
Overview
The SPL Parts Front Outer Tie Rod Ends are high-performance suspension components designed for enthusiasts seeking precise steering response and improved handling. Compatible with the Nissan Skyline R33 from 1993 to 1998, these tie rod ends are engineered to correct bump steer issues caused by modified caster or lower arm geometry. Whether you're involved in racing, drifting, or street driving, these parts help optimize your vehicle’s suspension geometry for better control and confidence behind the wheel. Crafted with durability and lightweight performance in mind, they support aggressive driving styles while maintaining long-lasting reliability.
Key Features
Designed with precision and strength, these tie rod ends feature CNC-machined 9310 alloy shanks with a tensile strength of 190ksi, ensuring they withstand the rigors of high-performance driving. Stainless steel spacers and 2024-T351 aluminum turnbuckles contribute to their robust construction, providing both strength and weight savings. The large 3/4 Teflon-lined bearings reduce friction and wear, promoting smooth operation and longevity. These components are engineered to help correct bump steer and improve steering response, making them ideal for track days, drifting, or spirited street driving. The lightweight design also helps reduce unsprung mass, enhancing overall suspension performance.
