JMortensen Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 It's called a TC rod or tension compression rod. Occasionally referred to as a strut rod. If you put the right term out there you might find one easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_82_ZXT Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Did yours break? Were you using urethane bushings? I might have one for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkzebra Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks Jon. Mario: Yes to both Q's. I thought it snapped because of the damn potholes in my area. The mechanic wanted to sleeve it but I told him to wait until I try the forum. Email me a pic and pricing shipped to NY 12303.

darkzebra Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 No further contact from Mario except that he may have one. Any other member has this left front suspension TENSION COMPRESSION ROD available for sale? Would much prefer a used one before I face the dealer in my area.

darkzebra Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Thanks everyone. Wow! And I thought it was a freak incident caused by the potholes! I guess I am returning to stock bushings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSM Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'll have to look I think I saved both, but must locate them. You find one yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_82_ZXT Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Man way to put me on blast! My friend has a ZX parts car but it seems that side was hit so the rod is most likely damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
