Pics always help.
A little more info: Upgrade tie rods are only useful in increasing your steering angle specifically for drifting to get increased steering lock. Otherwise they do nothing
Tension rods are the front lower suspension link that control caster. The stock ones have a very high tenacy to go bad on the bushing causing you aligment to be off and to vary. Upgraded ones usually offer a solid spherical bsuhing instead and adjustment to increase or decrease caster
