Swaged Rod 1in. x 16in. 5/8in. Thread

The Swaged Rod 1in. x 16in. 5/8in. Thread from M AND W ALUMINUM PRODUCTS is a precision-engineered suspension and steering linkage component designed for custom vehicle builds, performance restorations, and off-road modifications. This aluminum tie-rod or control arm extension serves as a critical connector in steering geometry adjustments, allowing builders to fine-tune alignment, increase ride height, or adapt suspension geometry to custom frame work.

Manufactured from high-grade aluminum alloy by M AND W—a trusted name in automotive rod engineering—this 16-inch swaged rod features a 5/8-inch thread pattern for secure ball-joint or clevis coupling. The swaging process creates a tapered, strengthened section that distributes stress evenly while maintaining a lightweight profile at just 0.6 pounds, critical for vehicles where unsprung weight impacts handling and efficiency. The 0.75-inch body diameter and aluminum construction offer excellent strength-to-weight ratio compared to steel alternatives, while the polished finish (POL designation) resists corrosion and simplifies installation in tight suspension bays common in lowered or modified chassis.

Professional fabricators, hot rod builders, and off-road enthusiasts rely on M AND W rods for their durability and precision. This product is ideal for lengthening drag-links on lifted trucks, extending steering components for tube-chassis builds, or adjusting control arm geometry on race cars. With its robust design and lightweight profile, it meets the demands of modern fabricators.
