Welded Ball Chrome Moly Push Rods

  • Two 5/16 welded balls using heat treated 4130 .065 wall chrome moly tubing. This push rod withstands 1,000 pounds of lateral force on the welded balls. The fusion on the welded ball and 4130 chrome moly tubing produce a solid push rod with ball end fit on the rocker arm and the stiffness of seamless 4130 chrome moly tubing. This low cost product produces far superior results to standard 1010 steel push rods.
