5/8 Bent Tie Rod Tube 15-1/2in

The 5/8 Bent Tie Rod Tube 15-1/2in (ALL 57019) from Allstar Performance is a precision-engineered steering component built for custom chassis work, circle track racing, and street rod fabrication. Unlike off-the-shelf tie rods designed for factory suspension geometry, this bent configuration allows fabricators and mechanics to dial in exact steering arm angles and clearances in modified suspensions where stock components no longer fit. Whether you're building a single-A-arm front end, adapting a vintage frame to modern suspension, or fine-tuning Ackermann geometry on a race car, this component provides the steering linkage adjustment that factory limitations simply cannot offer.

Constructed from steel and finished in black powder coat for corrosion resistance, the 5/8 bent tie rod tube features a 0.875-inch outer diameter with 5/8-18 threads at both ends, delivering robust engagement with standard rod ends and steering components. The 15.5-inch overall length and carefully engineered bend angle address common packaging constraints in custom front clips and lowered suspensions. The powder coat finish withstands road salt, brake dust, and engine heat far better than bare steel, ensuring long-term durability in both street and competition environments. This specification allows drop-in fitment with most aftermarket rod ends and steering arms available through performance suppliers.

Mechanics, fabricators, and weekend racers building tube chassis cars, hot rods, or handling-focused street machines rely on this component to achieve proper toe control and bump steer characteristics in non-stock suspensions. The 1.55-pound weight keeps unsprung mass down—critical for suspension compliance and ride quality. Installation requires standard rod end sockets and basic hand tools; thread pitch compatibility with 5/8-18 fasteners ensures straightforward integration into both DIY shops and professional fabrication bays. Verify clearance against wheel wells and suspension arms before final assembly, as bend geometry is optimized for typical custom suspension widths and pickup points.
