Keep Power Down Without Wheel Hop
Hard launches and aggressive throttle application on the 370Z and Z platform can flex the factory rear traction arms, allowing the rear suspension to deflect and causing wheel hop or inconsistent power delivery. This Whiteline KTA442 adjustable rear traction arm kit adds rigidity and adjustment range to keep the rear suspension geometry locked in under hard acceleration.
Key Features
- Direct replacement adjustable rear traction arm kit
- Reduces suspension deflection under hard acceleration
- Helps eliminate wheel hop from flexing factory arms
- Adjustable design allows rear geometry fine tuning
- KTA442 uses durable spherical bearings for consistent control

Alignment Components
Shop alignment components, camber kits, caster kits, and adjustable control arms at Black Ops Auto Works. Find vehicle-specific parts for correcting suspension alignment or preparing a performance setup, including toe links, adjustment cams, camber plates, and replacement mounts. Choose components based on your vehicle, suspension configuration, and measured alignment needs. Camber, Caster, and Toe Correction Camber describes the inward or outward tilt of a wheel when viewed from the front. Caster describes the steering axis angle when viewed from the side. Toe describes whether the wheels point inward or outward when viewed from above. Each measurement has a different role, so the right correction part depends on which angle needs adjustment. This collection includes options from Black Ops Auto Works, AAD Performance, SPC Performance, Eibach, SuperPro, Whiteline, and other suspension brands. Adjustment capability varies by product. A camber kit does not automatically provide caster...
