Steel Axle Tube 5x5 2.5in Pin 28in

The ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE Steel Axle Tube 5x5 2.5in Pin 28in (SKU ALL 68252) is a precision-engineered axle housing tube designed for high-performance racing and off-road applications. This 28-inch steel tube features a 3-inch outer diameter with a 2.625-inch inner diameter, engineered to accept standard 2.5-inch pin configurations used in AFCO, SCP, and Winters axle assemblies. Built from solid steel construction, this tube provides the structural integrity and load capacity demanded by competitive drag racing, circle track, and off-road competition environments.

The 5x5 bolt pattern specification indicates compatibility with standard quick-change rear axle mounting systems commonly found in race vehicles. The 2.5-inch pin diameter is a critical specification that ensures proper engagement with axle bearings and retention hardware, preventing slippage under acceleration and braking forces. The tube's 28-inch length accommodates a wide range of vehicle platforms and custom builds, while the natural steel finish allows for powder coating or other surface treatments to match your specific application. With a weight of 16.73 lbs, this component balances structural rigidity with minimized rotational mass—an important consideration in drag racing where unsprung weight directly impacts acceleration and handling.

This axle tube is essential for builders and competitors assembling custom rear-end assemblies or replacing damaged or worn housing in race cars, sand rails, or ultra4 competition vehicles. Whether you're building a street-legal hot rod, constructing a dedicated circle-track racer, or fabricating an off-road competition platform, this ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE tube provides a proven foundation. The compatibility with multiple bearing and retention system manufacturers makes it a versatile core component that allows flexibility in drivetrain setup while maintaining precision tolerances.
