IMCA Approved 3/4 Thread Swedged Steel Tube, 16 Inch, Black

IMCA Approved 3/4 Thread Swedged Steel Tube, 16 Inch, Black

Strong steel swedged 1" tubing with .095-inch wall thickness Ends threaded for 3/4-16 LH/RH rod ends, clevises, or bushings IMCA approved chassis component Available in 23 lengths from 9" to 37" Thin wall construction with swedged ends for lighter weight while retaining strength Black steel tube with .095-inch wall thickness for four-link, control arm, and other chassis uses. Suitable for Panhard rod, drag link, chassis bracing, and more. Ends threaded 3/4-16 LH and RH threads for rod ends or clevises of your choice. Available in 23 lengths from 9-inches to 37-inches long, most in 1-inch increments. Outside diameter of tube is 1-inch. IMCA approved component. 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 1/8-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 thin wall steel 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 steel versions that utilize a swedged end. Swedged tubing is the perfect upgrade to these suspension and steering pieces when sized properly for the application. Swedging the ends of the steel 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. This critical area is cold formed, which further strengthens the steel tube. Swedged steel tubes are lighter than their non-swedged steel counterparts while meeting the same strength requirements
