Where is the tension rods located?
Did you meant the trailing/caster arm? See the link below. Please point me to it. I am having the timing belt done tomorrow and will ask the mechanic to take a look.

Passanger side's caster arm failed
I don't think the right caster/trailing arm failure is/was a coincidence. My co-worker who has a 2002 GS, his caster arm was replaced cause it was cracked. I am having a very very minor vibration when doing 80mph coming from the right front end at well. The mechanic suspecting it could be either the Tie Rod or the Trailing/Caster arm.

Sucks to hear OP but glad you are okay. Although it appears that the 98-00 GS' seem to be the years with the LBJ issue, I have set of OEM LBJ's in the garage that need to be installed. I just have to order my FIGS parts so I can replace the parts at the same time.
