Beyond rod ends, SYZ Machine machines the surrounding structure — the arms, joints, links, adapters and spacers that turn a set of bearings into a working suspension system.
Control arms, ball joints, sway bar links, bushings, strut mounts and shock eyelets engineered for front-end stability.
Radius rods, track bars, lateral links, lift links, 4-link hardware, leaf-spring components and torque rods.
Tie rod ends, tie rod kits, rack ends, steering wheels and precision linkage components for responsive vehicle control.
Engine and cab mounts, mounting brackets, tube adapters, tube clamps and tube couplers for chassis fabrication.
CV axles, driveshaft U-joints, wheel spacers, drive clutches, king pins and wheel hub bearings for reliable power transfer.

R = right-hand thread, L = left-hand thread, (T) = PTFE-lined option. Load figures are the published static radial ratings for these series — tell me your dynamic load and duty cycle and I will confirm the right series with engineering.
Materials & Finishes
Tell me the environment — salt, mud, heat, high cycle — and I will recommend the material and coating combination.
In-house or verified partner finishing.
Standard and hard anodize for aluminium.
Corrosion protection for steel parts.
Colour-matched finishes for visible parts.
Custom & OEM
Send me a STEP file, a DXF, a PDF blueprint, or even a worn part in a photograph. Engineering reviews manufacturability and comes back with a real quote. Prototypes are typically ready in 4–6 weeks, and custom tooling fees are credited back on the bulk order.
Next Step
Part number, drawing, sample or just an application description — all of them work. You will hear back within 24 hours.
