14 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The rod ends used in Titan arm socket blocks are designated TSFX5 and are 5/16 inch rod ends, not eye bolts.
- TSFX5 rod ends are produced by Tuthill and feature a 52100 steel ball with alloy steel body construction.
- The TSFX5 has a load capacity of 7639 pounds and can accommodate up to 14 degrees of angular misalignment.
- TSFX5 rod ends use 5/16-24 male threads with a thread length of 0.687 inch.
- These rod ends can be sourced from race shops, bearing stores, McMaster Carr, or directly from the manufacturer.
Depends on
- The thread mentions conflicting information about whether the parts are titanium, with one person claiming they were told this but another disputing it; the datasheet confirms they are steel, not titanium.
- Load capacity specifications provided are from the datasheet but not verified through independent testing in this discussion.
