CUSCO Front Tension Rod Bar
For 1983–1987 Toyota Corolla AE86 Trueno & Levin SR5, GTS and All JDM Trims
Overview
The CUSCO Front Tension Rod Bar is a chassis reinforcement component designed to connect the left and right front tension rods on the AE86. By tying the tension rods together, the bar helps increase rigidity between the front lower suspension mounting points and improve overall front-end stability.
The bar uses a 22 mm diameter steel construction with a turnbuckle-style adjustment mechanism that allows the tension of the bar to be set after installation. This is a bolt-on installation for the AE86, making it a straightforward suspension reinforcement upgrade without requiring fabrication.
This component is a front tension rod reinforcement bar, not a sway bar or strut tower brace. It is intended for AE86 applications using the factory-style front tension rod arrangement.
Key Features

Suspension Reinforcement
The AE86's front tension rods play an important role in locating the front lower suspension. The CUSCO bar ties the two sides together, reducing independent movement between the left and right tension rod mounting points.
