Ends threaded 3/8-24 LH and RH threads for rod ends or clevises of your choice. Available in 65 lengths from 4-inches to 38-1/2-inches long, most in half-inch increments. Outside diameter of tube is .750-inch (3/4-inch) Thin wall construction with swedged ends offers lighter weight than comparable non-swedged tubes. Single rotation will adjust the overall length in or out by approximately 5/64-inch. Knurled surface to aid in rotating the tube to make required adjustments. Order by actual length measurement required for application. Swedged Tubing Provides Similar Strength with Less Weight Weight is the enemy of a race car. Any time you can save weight without reducing integrity or creating an unsafe situation you will benefit. Utilizing aluminum tubing for such things as control arms, Panhard bars, steering linkage, and more are all great ways to not only save weight but allow your suspension and steering to react faster to changes in the track surface, which ultimately keeps your race car’s tires in contact with the racing surface for precise throttle, braking, and steering control that can put you in the winner’s circle. One easy way to save weight is to replace heavy wall steel suspension and steering tubes with thin wall aluminum versions that utilize a swedged end. As aluminum is lighter than steel with similar strength characteristics it is the perfect upgrade to these suspension and steering pieces when sized properly for the application. Weight savings are further realized with the thinner wall dimensions of the aluminum tube versus a comparable steel tube of the same outside diameter. Swedging the ends of the aluminum tubing shrinks the outside diameter down, which thickens the wall of the tubing in the area where threads are created for the heim joint, bushing, or clevis end piece to be installed
