5/8 Aluminum Hex Tube 17in

The 5/8 Aluminum Hex Tube 17in by ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is a lightweight structural component designed for custom automotive fabrication and chassis building. Built for enthusiasts and professional fabricators who demand precision in their vehicle modifications, this hex tube serves as an ideal choice for roll cage construction, suspension links, and custom frame reinforcement. Its compact 17-inch length makes it perfect for intermediate spans where weight savings matter without compromising rigidity.

Manufactured from high-quality aluminum alloy, the 5/8-inch hex profile provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio compared to round tubing of equivalent diameter. The hexagonal cross-section offers superior load distribution and natural mounting points for brackets, fasteners, and welded attachments—critical advantages when building tight suspension geometries or custom subframes. At just 0.65 pounds, this tube reduces unsprung weight while maintaining structural integrity, helping improve acceleration, braking response, and overall handling characteristics on both street and track vehicles.

Mechanics and fabricators favor ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE hex tubing for drag racing chassis, road course roll cages, and performance suspension builds where every tenth of a pound contributes to measurable gains. The 17-inch dimension accommodates common mounting widths in A-arm fabrication, antiroll bar links, and diagonal cross-bracing applications. Welding aluminum requires proper technique and filler material, so ensure TIG capability before installation. This tube's lightweight construction makes it particularly valuable in vintage hot rod restorations and modern motorsports builds where reducing mass directly improves power-to-weight ratios.
