SPL Parts 20-22 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang / 2020 Shelby GT350/GT350R Mustang Front Tension Rods
Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
SPL Shelby GT500 Tension Rods (TR) provide front caster and anti-dive adjustment for the S550 GT500, allowing for symmetrical and ideal caster angle on both sides. The stock mushy rubber bushing is replaced by a US-made, low friction, hardened FK spherical bearing to eliminate deflection and bind, resulting in improved handling, direct braking feel, and sharp steering.
Using a mixture of billet 2024-T351 aluminum, stainless steel, chromoly steel, and titanium results in strong, adjustable arms that are 3.0 lbs lighter than the stock aluminum GT500 arms. Our 360° aluminum clamp design allows for fast, precise on-car adjustment by simply loosening two titanium Allen head cap screws and turning the arm. Once set, simply tighten the cap screws and you're done. No more fumbling wrenches trying to hold everything together while you tighten jam nuts.
Sold as a pair.

IMPORTANT INSTALL INFO
KNUCKLE TAPER VARIATIONS
Ford made numerous variations of the front knuckles across the S550 Mustang and Shelby line-up. These knuckles vary across nameplates (Mach 1, GT350, etc), years (2019 vs 2020 GT350), and even options (Handling Pack 2, etc).
Each knuckle variant may have different conical tapered seats where the front control arms mount. It is VERY IMPORTANT to verify the supplied conical tapered spacer fits snuggly into the knuckle, has near zero lateral end play (as-in it will not rock within the bore), and seats fully into the knuckle when installed at the proper torque value.
If you need clarification or feel you may have the wrong spacer for your Mustang, then please email us.
INTERNAL RESEVOIR 2+ WAY SHOCKS
MCS internal resevoir 2-way adjustable shocks (2WNR / TT2), and potentially other struts/coilovers that extend well below the OEM length when installed, can lead to issues clearing our mounting studs. The remote resevoir MCS coilovers are compatible with our stud since they utilize a shorter shock body.

What Is Your Order & Shipping Policy?
It is your responsibility to provide accurate shipping information at checkout. T1 Motorsports is not liable for any delays, lost shipments, or additional costs resulting from incorrect or incomplete addresses submitted during ordering.
What Is Your Return & Exchange Policy?
All processed orders that have not shipped will incur a 6% processing fee, this is mainly to cover any payment processing and cancelation fee with the manufacturer or warehouse. A processed order is an order that has already been put in our system and the product has been taken out of inventory and moving towards the packing and shipping face.
On special order or custom-made orders, the processing face is indicated when the manufacturer has received our order. Please be courteous and notify us ASAP if you wish to cancel any order(s) that were recently placed in order to prevent it from shipping out.
Due to the nature of racing and performance vehicles, no returns will be accepted on special order items, opened, installed, incomplete, or otherwise used products. If a product is ordered and not wanted, the UNUSED item can be returned within 30 days after the product has been delivered. This does not apply to SPECIAL ORDER items. Once the product is returned, you have two options for your refund:
You may have your purchase refunded back on your original payment method minus a 20% restocking fee of the total amount. In this case, please know that the initial shipping is not refundable (free shipping items still incur shipping chargers which MUST be deducted on a return). All items wanting to be returned MUST be reported within 30 days of delivery date. If you are still browsing and want an alternate product, we can provide you with a full credit minus shipping costs as a T1 Motorsports store credit. Some brands are excluded and may incur up to a 10% restocking fee. Please contact us to confirm.
On both refund options, a return shipping label may be provided if you are unable to ship the product(s) back using your own method of shipping. This shipping cost will be deducted from your total refund or credit.
