5/8 Aluminum Radius Rod 23in Black

The Ti22 PERFORMANCE 5/8 aluminum radius rod 23in black is a precision suspension component engineered for street machines, circle track racers, and performance street rods seeking improved geometry control and reduced chassis flex. Radius rods—also called Panhard bars or torque arms depending on mounting orientation—transfer lateral and longitudinal suspension forces while maintaining consistent alignment during acceleration, braking, and cornering. This 23-inch aluminum tube delivers the strength-to-weight advantage serious fabricators and builders demand when tuning independent rear suspension (IRS) or leaf-spring solid axle setups for responsive handling.

Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with a 1.125-inch outer diameter and 5/8-18 female threads on both ends, this radius rod balances rigidity with minimal unsprung weight—critical for chassis geometry at the track or high-speed road course. The black anodized finish resists corrosion and oxidation while maintaining a clean appearance beneath the car. At 0.86 pounds, aluminum construction significantly reduces rotating and unsprung mass compared to steel equivalents, improving suspension response and overall handling dynamics. The 5/8-18 thread specification accepts standard male rod ends, allowing builders to dial in precise adjustment for caster, camber, or lateral positioning without compromising durability or repeatability.

This component suits vintage hot rod restorations, modern drift platforms, road racing builds, and bracket racing vehicles where suspension tuning directly impacts lap times and consistency. The 23-inch length accommodates mid-travel suspensions and independent rear setups common in tube-frame drag cars, circle track racers, and street performance applications. Installation requires 5/8-18 rod end bearings (sold separately) and proper chassis mounting points rated for suspension loads—consult your builder's manual or suspension supplier for torque specifications and alignment procedures. Whether you're fine-tuning weight transfer characteristics or rebuilding a chassis from the ground up, the Ti22 PERFORMANCE radius rod delivers adjustability and precision in a lightweight package.
