Radius Rod Polished 1/2 ODx5/16x.080 Wall 7.5in

The Radius Rod Polished 1/2 OD x 5/16 x .080 Wall 7.5in from M AND W ALUMINUM PRODUCTS is a precision-engineered suspension tube designed for fabricators, suspension specialists, and performance vehicle builders who demand lightweight, corrosion-resistant components. This polished aluminum suspension element serves as a critical link in custom and modified suspension geometries, where radius rods control lateral wheel movement and maintain wheel alignment under dynamic loading. Whether you're building a street rod, custom truck, or race-oriented suspension system, this tube provides the foundation for precise geometry tuning.

Constructed from aluminum alloy with a 1/2-inch outer diameter and .080-inch wall thickness, the Radius Rod Polished delivers an optimal strength-to-weight ratio essential for suspension applications where unsprung mass directly affects handling response and ride quality. The 5/16-24 female thread specifications provide secure, repeatable mounting points for rod ends and spherical bearings, while the polished finish resists oxidation and delivers a professional appearance. The 7.5-inch length and compact 0.08 lb weight make this tube ideal for tight suspension packaging, rear axle locating arms, or four-link suspension systems where space and weight savings are critical to chassis balance and performance.

This radius rod is best suited for street rod builders, fabrication shops, and serious enthusiasts constructing independent rear suspension systems, four-link setups, or triangulated axle-location assemblies. It pairs seamlessly with QA1 rod ends, Heim joints, and standard 5/16-24 threading hardware available through suspension specialists. Installation typically involves welding or bolting the tube between frame mounts and axle housings; precise measurement and alignment are essential to achieve desired suspension geometry. Compatible with both street and competition applications, this polished aluminum tube is a cost-effective, repeatable solution for custom suspension geometry that demands reliability and refined aesthetics.
