Radius Rod Polished 1/2 ODx5/16x .080 Wall 15.25

The M AND W ALUMINUM PRODUCTS Radius Rod Polished 1/2 OD x 5/16 x .080 Wall 15.25 is a precision-engineered suspension tube purpose-built for mini sprint car chassis and competitive off-road racing applications. This polished aluminum radius rod serves as a critical control arm component, managing lateral suspension movement and maintaining proper wheel alignment under hard cornering and acceleration. Engineers and fabricators rely on these tubes for their dimensional accuracy and material consistency when building or maintaining high-performance suspension geometry.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum with a polished finish, this radius rod features a 1/2-inch outer diameter with 0.080-inch wall thickness—a proven spec that balances structural rigidity with weight savings critical to sprint car performance. The 5/16-24 female thread pattern accepts standard spherical rod ends or heim joints, allowing quick adjustment and replacement during setup tuning or component servicing. At 15.25 inches long, this tube length accommodates typical mini sprint frame geometries and integrates seamlessly into existing suspension designs without modification to mounting points. The polished surface resists corrosion and provides a professional appearance on exposed suspension components.

Racers, fabricators, and suspension builders favor M AND W aluminum radius rods for sprint car, kart, and open-wheel racing platforms where weight reduction and suspension precision directly impact lap times. Installation requires threading standard 5/16-24 rod ends into each end and fastening the assembly to frame mounts using appropriate spacers and fasteners. This individual tube is sold separately, allowing builders to purchase matched pairs or specific lengths needed for their unique chassis geometry and alignment requirements.
