5/8 Aluminum Hex Tube 19in

The 5/8 Aluminum Hex Tube 19in from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is a precision suspension component engineered for fabricators, race teams, and performance mechanics building or modifying vehicle suspension systems. This black anodized aluminum hex tube serves as a structural member in control arms, lateral rods, and custom suspension linkages where strength-to-weight ratio and dimensional accuracy are critical. Whether you're assembling a dedicated track car, restoring a classic with modern geometry, or designing a custom chassis, this tube provides the rigid foundation necessary for controlled handling and repeatable geometry.

Manufactured from aluminum alloy and finished with black anodizing for corrosion resistance, the 5/8 Aluminum Hex Tube 19in measures 1 x 1 inches in hex profile and extends 19 inches in length, making it ideal for mid-length suspension applications in compact to mid-size platforms. The 5/8-18 female threads on each end accept standard rod ends and spherical bearings, allowing for quick-disconnect assembly without requiring welding or threading the tube itself. Aluminum construction keeps weight low—critical for unsprung mass reduction—while the hex profile resists twisting and provides excellent weld access if permanent joints are preferred. Anodized finish protects against oxidation and wear during storage and use, maintaining dimensional consistency over extended seasons.

This hex tube is most commonly used in short-long arm (SLA) kits, tubular A-arm assemblies, and fabricated panhard/track bar setups for circle track, road racing, and drag racing vehicles. The 19-inch length suits independent front suspension geometries on street machines, show cars, and competition platforms where space is limited or aggressive angles are desired. Installation requires compatible 5/8-18 rod ends or bearing cups; verify thread pitch and bore diameter before ordering. Its lightweight aluminum construction makes it a favorite among builders minimizing overall vehicle weight while maintaining the rigidity required for high-cornering-force applications.
