5/16 Aluminum Scalloped Tube - 12in.

The 5/16 Aluminum Scalloped Tube – 12in. is a precision suspension component built for high-performance automotive fabrication and competition vehicle builds. Engineered by QUICKCAR RACING PRODUCTS, this aluminum tube delivers the lightweight strength and adjustability critical to modern suspension geometry tuning. Whether you're dialing in a race car's front end geometry, building a custom suspension control arm, or fabricating height-adjustable link assemblies, this scalloped tube provides the threaded female interface needed for precise length adjustment without sacrificing structural integrity.

Machined from aluminum with a black anodized and natural finish option, the 5/16 Aluminum Scalloped Tube features a 5/16-24 female thread specification that accepts standard 5/16 male studs and rod ends for modular suspension assembly. The scalloped design reduces weight while maintaining torsional rigidity—critical in competition applications where every tenth of a pound impacts acceleration and handling response. At just 0.25 lbs and 12 inches in length, this tube strikes the balance between strength and minimal unsprung mass. The anodized aluminum finish resists corrosion in harsh underbody environments while the natural alternative accommodates custom finishing for show vehicles or specialized applications.

Suspension fabricators, drag racing teams, and road course builders rely on this component for adjustable control arm construction, panhard bar assemblies, and track-focused geometry kits. The 12-inch length suits both front and rear suspension applications where fine-tuning ride height, anti-squat, or anti-dive geometry is required. Installation requires standard hex key adjustment of the 5/16-24 threaded ends, making alignment adjustments straightforward without specialized tools. Compatible with rod ends, spherical bearings, and standard 5/16 suspension hardware, this aluminum tube integrates seamlessly into custom suspension designs from street cars to full-tube-frame race platforms.
