5/8 Steel Radius Rod 23.5in Black

The 5/8 Steel Radius Rod 23.5in Black by Ti22 PERFORMANCE is a precision suspension control arm engineered for high-performance chassis applications and custom vehicle builds. Radius rods are critical steering geometry components that locate the axle laterally while controlling brake dive and acceleration squat in performance-oriented vehicles. Whether you're tuning a drag car, street rod, circle track racer, or precision off-road platform, this 23.5-inch steel rod provides the structural rigidity and dimensional stability necessary for predictable handling and repeatability under load.

Constructed from high-strength steel with a 5/8-inch diameter, this radius rod delivers excellent strength-to-weight characteristics while resisting flex and deflection during aggressive acceleration, cornering, and braking events. The 1.25 x 1.25-inch cross-section (measuring 23 inches in effective length) provides superior rigidity compared to smaller diameter alternatives, minimizing lateral axle movement and maintaining consistent suspension geometry throughout the chassis travel range. Ti22 PERFORMANCE's black powdercoat finish protects against corrosion while delivering a professional appearance in engine bays and underneath vehicle builds. The precision-welded construction ensures repeatability across multiple installations, critical for teams running multiple vehicles or pursuing consistent lap times and performance metrics.

This radius rod is ideal for fabricators, performance shops, and serious enthusiasts building independent rear suspension systems or upgrading factory suspension geometry on vintage platforms and modern swaps. Installation typically involves welding or high-strength fastening to the axle housing and frame rails, requiring proper alignment and geometry verification post-installation. The 23.5-inch length suits most mid-sized chassis and wheelbase configurations; measure your specific suspension mounting points before ordering. Pair with quality spherical rod ends, bump steer kit components, and a professional alignment to achieve optimal suspension performance and road-holding capability.
