Tension Rod, also known as compression rod, strut rod, or caster/castor rod. Sometimes called a radius rod or reaction rod.
Contents |
Overview
The tension rods keep the front wheels located fore/aft. It forms one leg of the virtual lower A-arm. The LCA forms the other leg of the "A".
1974 and later tensions rods have a different bolt spacing at the end, to match the updated bolt pattern on the 1974 and later LCAs.
The tension rod is the lower bar in this photo:
