DOM steering

[astjp2]

Who in the area has the ability to make me a drag link from DOM tubing:sick:? I want to tap 7/8x18 L&R ball joints directly into the tube with jam nuts....not weld in adapters. Thanks Tim

I had Ben Hanks Racing build mine. They turned out very nice! They had them made within hours of calling them.

How much did they cost? Thanks Tim

Mt Logan did mine.
I think that i paid about $80 for it. Had it the same day.

I had Ben Hanks do a drag link for me. Nothing wrong with what I got at all. Decent price if I remember correctly.

BHR did mine too.

Ben Hanks is about the one I'd have build one for me.

For the tubing+taping it was $60-$70 around there. Can't remember exactly.

FWIW, Ben Hanks used 1.25" x .281 wall DOM and had it done in less than 24 hours. Cost me $80 with tax and everything.

I'm making mine using the threaded inserts. No cost on labor by doing it that way.

The threaded inserts are a sweet idea if you want to save money and DIY. Why is it that is isn't more common? Is it because its generally a bad idea to weld on steering parts? Has anyone seen or heard of them failing?

I don't run them, I've just always wondered about them.

You're still paying for labor. You're paying for someone to tap an insert instead of just tapping the tie rod directly for you. I think a directly tapped tie rod is a cleaner more professional execution, and the price is close to the same. That's why I had BHR build mine.
