Swaged Rod 1.250in x 32 5/8in Thread

The Swaged Rod 1.250in x 32in Thread by M AND W ALUMINUM PRODUCTS is a precision-engineered suspension and chassis component designed for vehicle builders, fabricators, and serious automotive enthusiasts undertaking custom suspension geometry work. As a hardened aluminum control arm or tie rod blank, this component serves as the foundation for adjustable linkage assemblies in off-road rigs, drag racing platforms, and street performance builds where geometry tuning and weight savings are critical.

The swaged construction—where the rod diameter transitions to a smaller threaded section—provides structural rigidity while maintaining the lightweight advantage that aluminum delivers compared to traditional steel alternatives. Built from aluminum alloy, the Swaged Rod features a 1.250-inch primary diameter that carries load through the suspension geometry, with a 32-inch overall length that accommodates mid-range travel distances in custom-geometry applications. The threaded end accepts spherical rod ends, jam nuts, and steering components with precision fit—critical for maintaining zero runout and preventing binding during suspension articulation.

At just 1.55 pounds, this rod reduces unsprung and rotating mass, directly improving acceleration response, ride compliance, and fuel economy in street applications while enhancing predictability in corner entry on track-oriented vehicles. The aluminum construction also resists corrosion in harsh off-road environments, making it a reliable choice for various automotive applications.
