3/4 Aluminum Hex Tube 17in

The 3/4 Aluminum Hex Tube 17in from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is a precision suspension component designed for builders and fabricators working on race cars, custom hot rods, and high-performance vehicles. This aluminum hex tube serves as a structural member in suspension arms, control arms, and chassis bracing applications where weight reduction and strength are equally critical. Whether you're constructing a tube frame chassis, reinforcing a control arm geometry, or building custom suspension links, this tube delivers the rigidity required without the mass penalty of solid steel alternatives.

Manufactured from aluminum and finished with black anodizing for corrosion resistance and durability, this tube features a 1.125-inch hex profile with a 17-inch length and 3/4-16 inch female threads on each end for straightforward assembly into suspension systems. The 1.3 x 1.25 x 17.1 inch dimensions provide excellent section stiffness while maintaining the lightweight properties aluminum is known for—critical when tuning suspension compliance and reducing unsprung mass. Anodized aluminum resists oxidation and wear, ensuring your suspension geometry remains stable over thousands of miles of hard driving. The hex cross-section maximizes rigidity for its weight class, making it ideal for applications where precise load paths and minimal deflection matter.

This tube is best suited for serious fabricators, race teams, and enthusiasts who are building or modifying independent suspension systems, A-arms, or upper and lower control arms on vehicles ranging from vintage hot rods to modern performance platforms. At just 1.14 pounds, the weight savings per component compound across a full suspension build, directly improving acceleration and handling response. Installation requires basic welding or threading skills; the 3/4-16 female threads accept standard rod ends and spherical bearings, allowing full customization of your suspension geometry to match your vehicle's setup and performance goals.
