Hello people, I am in the process of making some toe links and trailing arms. Below will be the spec:



Toe link: anodized blue T6061 aluminum solid rod with self lubricating rod end and 304 stainless steel bushings



Traling arms: anodized blue T6061 aluminum solid rod with self lubricating rod ends and 304 stainless steel bushings



Introductory price



toe link set: $180

trailing arm set: $150

Both: $310



Most other aftermarket toe links and trailing arms are made of hollow aluminum tube. The one I am making are made of solid aluminum rod which will be at least 3 times stronger than those hollow ones. I am only making 10 sets each to test out the market so let me know if you guys are interested. Once the first batch is gone, they will not be sold at the same prices. They will be done in 2 weeks and photos will be posted.



Thank you.



Chuck Huang

I am in for both. Pettit's trailng arms are made from Chromoly. Not that I'm big on metals but just wanted to get that out there.

Anyway, what is the difference between the metals? For instance, what is T6061 aluminum? Whats special about it?

Just curious,



Will your toe links/trailing arms have a rubber sheath to cover the bushing joint? The ones I bought from Rotor-Motor-sports were solid with similar specs but wore out within 6 months.



thanks

Different grades of metal has different strength. The T6061 is a very strong aluminum alloy. Chromoly is a stronger material than aluminum but for trailing arm application, you don't really need it and besides that, it's a lot heavier than aluminum. Chromoly is better for axle application.
