Radius Rod 5/8in Alum 12in Black

The Radius Rod 5/8in Alum 12in Black is a precision-engineered suspension control arm component designed for high-performance vehicle modifications and custom suspension builds. Built from aluminum construction with black anodized finish, this 12-inch radius rod serves as a critical lateral locating member in modern independent suspension systems. Whether you're upgrading a street rod, fabricating a custom chassis, or fine-tuning a race car's geometry, this component provides the strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance that serious enthusiasts demand.

This radius rod features a 1.125-inch outer diameter tube with 5/8-18 female threads, allowing secure mounting at both suspension pickup points. The aluminum construction delivers significant weight savings compared to steel alternatives while maintaining rigidity necessary for suspension alignment control. Black anodized finish provides superior corrosion protection and a professional appearance, ensuring durability in harsh under-vehicle environments where salt spray and moisture exposure are constant threats. The 12-inch length accommodates mid-travel suspension geometries common in independent front and rear suspension configurations.

This component is ideal for fabricators, suspension tuners, and hot rod builders working on custom frames or upgrading factory suspension systems. Installation requires compatible rod ends or threaded ball joints sized for 5/8-18 fasteners, making it essential to verify your suspension designer's specifications before ordering. The 0.49 lb weight per rod contributes to overall vehicle weight reduction—a significant advantage in performance applications where unsprung mass directly impacts handling response and tire contact patch consistency. Measure your chassis carefully to ensure the 12-inch length matches your suspension geometry requirements before final assembly.
