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

About Whiteline
Whiteline builds performance suspension arms engineered to control rear geometry under the stress of hard acceleration and cornering. Their traction arm kits reduce deflection that leads to wheel hop and inconsistent handling.
FAQ
What is the KTA442?The KTA442 is a Whiteline adjustable rear traction arm kit for the Nissan 370Z and Z that reduces suspension deflection under hard acceleration.
What causes wheel hop on the 370Z during hard launches?The factory rear traction arms can flex under load, allowing the rear suspension to deflect and cause wheel hop or inconsistent power delivery.
Does this fit the new Nissan Z?Yes, this traction arm kit is compatible with both the 370Z and the newer Nissan Z platform.
Is this a direct bolt in replacement?Yes, this traction arm uses the factory mounting points for a direct bolt in installation.
Does this arm offer adjustment?Yes, the KTA442 is adjustable, allowing fine tuning of rear suspension geometry.
Will this help with drag racing or hard launches?Yes, the added rigidity in this traction arm helps keep power down and reduces wheel hop during hard launches.
Do I need an alignment after installing this arm?Yes, a rear alignment check is recommended after replacing any traction arm component.
Does this use spherical bearings or bushings?The KTA442 uses durable spherical bearings for precise, consistent control.

Control Arms
Control arms are the key suspension linkages that connect the wheel hub and knuckle assembly to the vehicle frame, controlling wheel travel through both compression and droop cycles. Worn OEM control arms with loose ball joints or deteriorated bushings cause vague steering, tire wear, and handling inconsistency that only go away with replacement or upgrade.Popular UpgradesTubular steel upper control arms for lifted trucks and SUVs are the most popular upgrade in the control arm category, correcting the geometry compromised by a suspension lift and restoring proper caster angle and ball joint centering. Adjustable upper control arms allow alignment angles like caster and camber to be dialed in precisely after a lift or lowering modification. Replacement lower control arms with polyurethane or solid aluminum bushings improve response and longevity compared to worn OEM rubber mounts.Why do I need new control arms after a lift kit?A suspension lift changes the angle at which the OEM upp...

Suspension
Aftermarket suspension systems improve handling, ride quality, and ride height adjustment beyond what the factory suspension provides. From lowering springs and coilover kits for sport handling to lift kits and leveling kits for truck and SUV off-road capability, quality suspension components transform how a vehicle rides and handles. Popular Suspension Upgrades Popular suspension upgrades include coilover kits for adjustable ride height and damping, sport lowering springs for improved handling and reduced body roll, performance shock absorbers and strut assemblies, sway bar and end link upgrade kits, subframe brace kits, and complete suspension packages for lifted trucks and off-road SUVs. Alignment kits including camber bolts and camber arms are also frequently ordered after ride height changes. What is the difference between coilovers and lowering springs? Coilovers are complete shock and spring assemblies with adjustable ride height set by threading the spring perch on the shock...
