While skill is an important factor, having a car setup that gives precise control and predictability is an essential ingredient.

To get this control on a street turned race car, a common modification is the removal of factory suspension bushings which are used for their longevity and ride comfort, and instead fitting the likes of rod ends like rose or Heim joints in their place. Such a change gives the driver more control, particularly under braking and while cornering, allowing them more precise control over the car's position on track.

There are a range of rod end options available like those from FK Rod Ends as shown at PRI, including metal types to fit different applications and budgets, as well as Teflon lined examples to help reduce the increased maintenance over rubber or Nolathane bushes rod ends will give. This gives us a ton of options no matter the level of motorsport.
