    10. According to Eddie Kim at Peak, "The oil-filled rubber bushing in the factory tension rod is known to burst and cause all types of unwanted and unexpected toe changes." This particular piece is made of T-6061 hard anodized aluminum that eliminates the weight and maintains accuracy required under race conditions, giving you quicker steering response and greater feedback from your steering wheel.

Eddie Lee at Mackin Industries also set me up with the perfect offset.
