Rotating the threaded tube moves the threaded ends of your choice inward or outward for adjustment. This allows the adjusting sleeve to be mounted between two points of adjustment, such as your shifter and transmission, among other fitment applications. These natural finish aluminum tubes are threaded to accept 3/8-24 rod ends, bushings, or clevises with left-hand and right-hand threads. 120-inch wall thickness and available in 65 different lengths from 4-inches to 38-1/2-inches, with most in half-inch increments. They are constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum with. We offer these super strong aluminum threaded tubes for your project in a bare finish. Multiple Lengths to Fit Any Race Car Application

Swedged aluminum tubes, on average, are 30 percent lighter than their steel counterparts while meeting the same strength requirements.

This critical area is cold formed, which further strengthens the aluminum tube. 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. Weight savings are further realized with the thinner wall dimensions of the aluminum tube versus a comparable steel tube of the same outside diameter. 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. 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. 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. Any time you can save weight without reducing integrity or creating an unsafe situation you will benefit. Swedged Tubing Provides Similar Strength with Less Weight
