Roo Man's Room / radius rods/steering arm dimensions
« on: February 11, 2013, 12:38:48 PM »
Roo,
What are the usual size and wall thickness for the radius rods on a standard torsion bar setup? Seen 3/4 x .065" in a couple of different places. Also what is the standard size/thickness from the pitman arm coming off the output shaft from the box to the spindle?
I've got a couple of freebie drops from a friend of mine and was wondering if I could use them BUT they are 304 stainless. The sizes I got for free are 7/8 x .049" (radius rods?) and 1" x .049" (steering arm?)
I know 304 is probably 70-75% the strength of 4130 but didn't know if you or anyone had used them without a problem.
