Adam walks through the complete in-house manufacturing process behind Wide Open Design’s custom 7075 aluminum suspension links. These are the exact same links WOD trusts underneath our own race cars and trail rigs.

Unlike steel links that stay bent after hard impacts, 7075 aluminum allows the links to flex and return to shape under load.

In this video we cover:

•raw material prep
•cutting & machining
•custom thread setup
•wrench flat machining
•left/right hand thread orientation
•why 7075 works so well in off-road suspension systems
