The new V5 GKTECH Tension Rods offer the most amount of clearance available in a tension rod while now being 0.62" (16mm) thick! Tension rods (aka caster arms) allow adjustment in vehicle castor to bring the wheels forward and increase steering response.
In general, the more caster the better. Allowing sharper turn in and faster return to the straight position when letting go of the wheel.
- V5 arms feature high quality 5/8" Teflon lined pillow ball rod ends which eliminate the flex found in factory rubber bushing offering a more direct and predictable feel.
- V5 arms are manufactured from 4130 chromoly sheet with billet CNC machined ends and CNC machined 4130 chromoly adjusters.
- CAD designed, FEA tested, CNC machined ends and TIG welded
- V5 arms include offset bushing spacers for even more clearance
- Offers a total of 56mm extra wheel clearance which equates to roughly 9 degrees of additional wheel clearance.
NOTE: If you require S14 240sx/S15 Silvia or R33/R34 Skyline tension rods please refer to our other listing to suit.

Waaaay thicker then stock
I bought Gktech castor arms for my R32 Gtst hillclimb/super sprint car after watching a video on the product and was keen on the idea of additional caster angle.
I am wrapped after the fitting and having an additional 2degrees of castor over my old ajustable arms. The additional clearance was not required as my sway bar is in the way, the sway bar was not a factory item and was purchased to clear a larger sump.
I have sine replaced all the rear arms and had an alignment and am looking forward to a run this weekend
Stoked to be able to purchase Gktech Products to keep my project going. Great Service and thanks for supporting drifting throughout the scene
Got these for my r32 to adjust caster and the install video made it super easy to put in. Wish the supplied nut and bolt weren’t different sizes but that’s just a pet peeve. Car drives noticeably better now.
As always with GKTech gears great quality item and nice package :) Fit perfectly on my RS13
