Got the tension rods of my old jdm out today as I was going to replace the oem bushes with whiteline ones. Had a quick look at the rods and it appears that they've already be done :clap:

 

They look like E.S ones to me, can someone confirm this?

 

Cheers

Hard to say, the one peice Energy Suspension ones where the real culprits, later changed to a 3 peice design with more compliants, however there are one peice ones around now that are made from softer material that are ok.

 

Have a good look at the lower arms where they bolt up, hopefully ok, fitting load spreader plates is an alternative, no biggy to make them up.

Thanks for that Jeff. I'm not sure on the age of these, so to be safe I'll make up a couple of plates.
