From this angle we can see how the triangular lattice beam is now constrained by the new clamp.
Out back, the gold rear toe links look fantastic along with the shiny titanium hardware that bolts the toe link to the rear knuckle, and while slightly improving the bumpsteer of the car.
Overall, we were very happy with the improved handling response and precision from the Carbon 6 XP Front tie rods, rear toe links and front compliance clamp. Addressing these aging components will greatly refresh the feel of the NSX, while improving handling to be even better than new.

Whoever specced titanium for an aluminum balljoint needs to go back to school.
Titanium is farther from aluminum in a galvanic series than stainless steel is. That means that there will be a greater potential for galvanic corrosion between the titanium screws and the aluminum than there would be between the stainless and aluminum.
What balljoint is aluminum?
The galvanic effect between Ti and Aluminum and stainless and aluminum is minimal enough not to be an issue in most environments. I mean if you know material science at all you would easily know that it is not an issue. Ti is stronger than most alloys of stainless steel and has a greatly superior strength-to-weight ratio. It is a great material for this application. Not sure what you mean by an aluminum ball joint.
how come you don’t have the boots on the monoball joints in any of the pics?
