S13 Tension Rods

DriftDisciple · 02-12-2004, 10:29 AM

Does anyone know what it takes to instal the JIC or Battle version Tension Rods on an S13? Will a jack, jackstands, typical wrenches and ratchets get the job done or will it get ugly? Do the factory pieces come out without geting crazy? Any advice from those who have tried this install is appreciated.

yeah, your good with that...I used an air gun, but thats cause I wanted to do it quick, You just need basic tools. Took me LITERALLY 1 MIN each! hand tools will require more time obviously, but shouldnt take more than 15 min each

Make sure you have them at correct lengths (compare to stock as closely as possible....and most importantly, make sure the lock nuts are TIGHT

Thanks for the info.
I think I'll go for it. My OEM bushings are ripped to shreds- I hope this tightens up the steering feel.

Super easy. Just need some basic tools like Chachi said.
