What size allthread do you all use for through rod? I have an idea to use it but I will use the set screw to hold a threaded tube inside the arm ,thus letting the allthread allow the arms to move in suspension and hold the arms to the buggy. input please

Mine are a piece of 3/4" soild round cut to fit into the main pivots. Then I drilled and tapped 1/2"-13 thread into the ends and put in long set screws bottemed into the end of the thread with locktight. Instead of nuts I used threaded lock collers with brass washers.

i used half inch threaded rod, on the ends, i used threaded locking shaft collars, and a tefflon washer. and then i had to drill a hole at the end of the rod and put a cotter pin to keep the shaft collar from turning.
