72in Unthreaded Tube for 5/8in Rod Ends

The 72in Unthreaded Tube for 5/8in Rod Ends from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is an essential suspension fabrication component designed for builders and fabricators who demand precision-engineered tubing for custom control arm and suspension linkage applications. This unthreaded aluminum tube serves as the foundational member in suspension assemblies where rod ends are welded or mechanically secured, making it indispensable for street rods, race cars, and performance suspension builds that require adjustable geometry and lightweight construction.

Manufactured from aluminum with a clear anodized finish, this tube features a 0.875 inch outer diameter (OD) and maintains the unthreaded design that allows for universal compatibility with 5/8 inch rod ends through welding, pinning, or pressing methods. The clear anodized coating provides corrosion resistance while preserving visibility of the underlying aluminum structure, critical for inspection during fabrication. At 72 inches long and weighing just 3 pounds, the tube delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio—a fundamental advantage in suspension design where unsprung mass directly impacts handling response, ride quality, and acceleration performance. The 1 x 1 inch overall profile balances structural rigidity with material efficiency, eliminating unnecessary weight without compromising the load paths essential to suspension function.

Fabricators, chassis builders, and performance engineers rely on this tube when constructing custom A-arms, panhard bars, tie rods, and suspension links that demand precise geometry and repeatable dimensions. The unthreaded format is ideal for applications where welding or mechanical fastening offers superior strength and adjustment capability compared to threaded connections. Whether you're building a vintage hot rod with independent front suspension, a circle-track race car requiring tunable geometry, or a high-performance street vehicle with custom suspension geometry, this ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE tube integrates seamlessly into purpose-built systems where precision engineering translates directly to on-track or street performance.
