5/8 Aluminum Scalloped Tube - 24.5in

The QUICKCAR RACING PRODUCTS 5/8 Aluminum Scalloped Tube in 24.5-inch length (MPN 62-245) is a precision suspension component engineered for circle track racing, street rod fabrication, and custom vehicle chassis builds. Constructed from lightweight aluminum and finished in black anodized or natural coating, this tube delivers the strength-to-weight ratio demanded by racers and fabricators who refuse to compromise on performance. The scalloped design reduces mass while maintaining structural integrity, making it an ideal choice for weight-conscious suspension geometry modifications.

At 24.5 inches long with a 5/8-inch diameter and 18 TPI female threads, this suspension tube integrates seamlessly into adjustable suspension systems where thread-in rod ends or bearing assemblies are required. The 1.31-pound weight specification reflects the aluminum construction, significantly lighter than steel alternatives without sacrificing durability. Scalloped tubing is favored in racing applications because the fluted design increases surface area contact with threaded fasteners while reducing overall component weight—a critical factor in circle track competition where every tenth of a pound impacts acceleration and handling balance.

This component is purpose-built for short-track racers, fabricators constructing custom control arms, and restoration specialists working on high-performance street rods. The 5/8-inch threading specification pairs with standard racing rod ends and spherical bearings, allowing builders to create adjustable upper or lower A-arms with precise geometry correction. The black anodized finish resists corrosion in humid shop environments and track conditions, while the natural finish option suits builders who prefer bare aluminum or plan secondary finishing.

QUICKCAR Racing Products is recognized within the circle track and fabrication communities for manufacturing suspension components that meet the rigorous demands of competition and custom builds. This scalloped tube represents a fundamental building block for any fabricator or racer constructing adjustable suspension systems where weight savings and precision engineering directly influence on-track performance.
