🔧 The Story Behind This Product
When we first started developing adjustable crossmembers for Datsuns, our initial designs used cam-type adjusters. While they worked, they were clunky — difficult for alignment shops to set, and not particularly durable. Arms had to be forced into position, risking wear on both the bushings and the adjusters themselves.
Version 2 was our first big improvement — more robust and much easier to align. But it was Version 3 where we really changed the game. With the help of a purpose-built jig, we aligned the pivot pins perfectly, reducing bushing distortion and ensuring smoother arm movement. That design marked a real breakthrough in both geometry and serviceability.
Now, Version 4.1 is ready — and it’s the best one yet. With custom billet adjusters, stronger bracket geometry, and R200 diff compatibility, this crossmember is built for serious street and motorsport use. It solves the common rear-end alignment issues caused by lowering a 510 or 610, while offering repeatable fine-tuning with standard hand tools.
No welding. No guessing. No compromises. Built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts — from years of trial, fabrication, and on-track feedback.
