Solid stock links
A guy I know offered to make me some suspension/steering links from scrap solid stock they have (he works for a large machine shop). What type of solid stock would be comparable to DOM tube in strength in the same OD? I need an upper control arm and panhard bar made.

Are you going to heat-treat the links?

Solid in the same diameter as tube of the same material is always stronger. DOM is just tube that been Drawn Over a Mandrel to smooth out the ID and work harden the material a bit. (sorta) Given the ease that one can weld in tube adapters and buy tubing, I wouldn't bother with solid stock due to the additional weight. (if that matters to you)
