Patriot Chassis Super Pinch Bung

The Patriot Chassis Super Pinch Bung (SKU: PC 7825) is a high-strength suspension component engineered for serious off-road builders and professional fabricators who demand more from their link arm hardware. Machined from high-strength steel, this pinch bung is designed to fit standard 1.25" link arms and features 1¼"-12 thread pitch for precise, repeatable adjustment. Its pinch-style clamping design eliminates the locknut failure points found in conventional bung setups, removing a common weak link from your suspension system entirely. Each Super Pinch Bung ships with two Grade 8 zinc-plated fasteners — hardware rated approximately 50% stronger than stainless steel equivalents and engineered to be free of galling issues that can plague stainless fasteners under repeated torque cycles. The fasteners can be inserted from either direction, meaning a single tool is all that's needed for installation or periodic bolt checks in the field. While specific published torque specs should be confirmed with your fabricator or Patriot Chassis directly, the Grade 8 rating ensures a substantially higher clamp load than standard or stainless alternatives. The reusable design sets this bung apart from disposable competitors. If a link arm is damaged, simply remove the joints, cut the bung free from the weld using a chop saw, and re-weld it onto a new tube — protecting your hardware investment and reducing long-term build costs. The geometry is optimized to allow maximum suspension articulation without binding, making it well-suited for long-travel builds, rock crawlers, and any application where consistent link arm performance under extreme flex is non-negotiable. Finished with a zinc-plated fastener set and precision-machined steel construction, the Super Pinch Bung delivers a clean, purpose-built appearance that complements a professional fabrication. Backed by Patriot Chassis engineering, this component is purpose-designed for builders who refuse to compromise on strength, serviceability, or aesthetics in their suspension linkage.
