5/8 Aluminum Radius Rod 23in Polished

The 5/8 Aluminum Radius Rod 23in Polished from Ti22 PERFORMANCE is a precision suspension component engineered for custom street rods, race cars, and independent front-end builds. Radius rods are essential for controlling forward and backward movement of the axle housing or suspension member during acceleration and braking, preventing unwanted geometry changes that compromise handling and tire wear. This 23-inch aluminum tube is designed for fabricators and suspension specialists who demand lightweight strength without sacrificing durability or adjustability in their builds.

Constructed from aluminum with a polished finish, the 5/8 Aluminum Radius Rod features a 1.125-inch outside diameter and 5/8-18 female thread ends, allowing for bolt-in connection to frame brackets and suspension mounting points. The 23-inch length positions it as an ideal solution for classic hot rods and mid-travel independent suspension setups where standard-length control arms would interfere with engine placement or custom geometry. Aluminum construction keeps unsprung weight to a minimum—just 0.84 lbs—making it a smart choice for vehicles where reducing rotational mass directly improves acceleration, braking response, and ride compliance. The polished finish resists corrosion while offering the refined aesthetic that separates professional fabrication from amateur work.

This radius rod suits builders working on front-end independent suspension kits, vintage hot rod restorations, and competition vehicles where adjustable geometry is critical. The threaded female ends accept standard rod ends or spherical bearings, enabling quick adjustments to suspension angle and wheelbase bias. Installation requires welding or bolting the tube between frame and suspension components; proper alignment and pre-load are essential for safe operation. Verify mounting-point spacing and thread compatibility with your specific suspension design before ordering to ensure correct fitment and performance.
