aziza z Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Has any one used Techno Toy Tuning tie rods on an s30 with Johns car LS1 kit? I was looking at the pictures on the control arm and im wondering if theres enough thread on the back side of the rod to fit the motor mount through it still. I want to change the stock ones for two reasons: 1- I need the adjustablity 2- They are snapping left and right with poly bushings anyway. ( And i really dont want a tie rod to fail while holding up my ls). Has anyone used both the TTT Tension Control Rods and Johns ls1 kit together is what im asking basically.

aziza z Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Found this picture on AZC. It appears to be a johns car mount using the AZC arms however. Makes me feel better, but i would like to use the TTT ones. I know someone out there has an answer for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palosfv3 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Check through the t/c rod threads . I dont remember exactly which thread but there is a problem using urethane bushings in place of the originals at the rear of the t/c rod. The fix was to use a rubber bushing on the front of the bracket. Urethane does not have enough compression to absorb the road forces into the rod and bracket.

aziza z Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 I didnt ask about a fix. I know the fix to the snapping tc rods. I had a compatibility question. I already ordered them. Ill find out myself. Worst case scenario I get a longer bolt on the driver side mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twentyfourouncer Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I didnt ask about a fix.QUOTE] However, you did mention that one of the reasons you wanted to switch was because you were snapping them right and left. I'm sure Palosfv3 was only trying to be helpful with his response. Perhaps offering a solution that you hadn't thought of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aziza z Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Im not snapping them. But Im not waiting for it to happen with the ls mounts the way they are. The bigger reason is that I need the adjustability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Tyler Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hey, if they don't fit, we're always glad to do something a little custom to make them fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aziza z Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Thanks Gabe. From a quick mock-up they look, like they will work fine. I will post pictures when I get around to installing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
