The SPL Parts Adjustable Front Tie Rod Ends (Part #SPL TRE Z33) are designed to correct front-end bumpsteer caused by modified caster, ride height, or lower control arm geometry. By relocating the tie rod end pivot point, these tie rods reduce dynamic toe change during suspension travel, resulting in more predictable steering, improved stability, and faster, more consistent lap times.
Built for racing and drifting abuse, these tie rod ends use ultra-high-strength materials and oversized spherical bearings to prevent binding on lowered vehicles while maintaining precise steering geometry under extreme loads.
