Description
Enhance suspension alignment and handling performance with Megan Racing Rear Radius Arms, designed for the 2003–2008 Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35. These adjustable rear radius arms are engineered to provide a wider range of rear caster adjustment than the factory arms, making them particularly useful for vehicles with lowered suspension setups.
The Nissan 350Z, also known as the Fairlady Z (Z33), features a naturally aspirated 3.5L quad-cam V6 engine (VQ35DE) that delivers torque across the low-to-mid RPM range and up to redline. Although the 350Z offers substantial performance potential in its stock configuration, its weight of over 3,200 lbs, body roll, and comfort-oriented spring rates can limit handling performance under demanding driving conditions. Megan Racing develops performance suspension components to help unlock the potential of the Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35 for both street and track use.
Proper wheel alignment is essential for vehicle handling because the tires' contact patches determine how the vehicle interacts with the road. Maintaining the correct camber, caster, and toe settings helps ensure that the wheels work together effectively. The Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35 are particularly sensitive to rear alignment changes when the vehicle is lowered, which can significantly affect rear camber and toe.
Megan Racing developed these adjustable Rear Radius Arms to help address rear alignment limitations associated with lowered vehicles. They provide a wider adjustment range than the factory arms and improve access to the adjustment points, helping drivers fine-tune rear caster for their desired suspension setup. These arms can also help minimize rear wheel hop during acceleration and braking.
Constructed from high-strength steel with a durable powder-coated finish, these arms are designed to withstand the stresses of competitive driving, demanding conditions, and rough road surfaces.

Important Installation and Adjustment Notes
-
Toe Adjustment Limitation: Megan Racing does not recommend using these radius arms to adjust rear toe.
-
Lowered Vehicle Considerations: When the chassis is lowered and rear camber is reduced, available toe-in adjustment can become limited.
-
Additional Components: Rear toe adjustment may remain limited unless the rear lower arms are also changed. Megan Racing specifies rear lower arms MRC-NS-0321 for this purpose.
-
Suspension Configuration: Installing the adjustable rear lower arms requires a true-coilover setup to replace the factory spring-bucket arrangement, which is the limiting factor.
-
Eccentric Bolt Considerations: Some toe adjustment may be possible without adjustable rear lower arms if the eccentric bolt is retained on the spring-bucket arm. However, this has limitations compared with replacing the eccentric bolts with lockout bolts.
