WOD Axle Link Tab Kit
WA121013
The WOD Universal Axle Link Tab Kit provides the weld-on lower link mounting points for one axle using 1.25" rod ends with a 1" bore. Designed around a 3.5" axle housing, the tabs can also be easily modified to fit a 4" housing, making the kit a clean starting point for custom 4-link suspension and axle fabrication.
The 1/4" steel tabs are laser cut with a 2.375" overall mount width and use a 1" link bolt. Each mount also uses a gusset that caps the top of the side tabs, tying the assembly together once welded to the axle housing. Pair the mounts with XMR16/XML16 rod ends and WA01040 1" misalignment spacers for the intended link-end setup.
Includes:
- (4) Weld-On Lower Link Side Tabs
- (2) Upper Gusset / Cap Tabs
- Complete Tab Kit for the Lower Link Mounts on One Axle
Note: Rod ends, misalignment spacers, 1" link bolts, and welding are not included. Designed to fit 3.5" axle housings and can be modified during fabrication for use on 4" axle housings.

FAQ
What size axle housing does this link tab kit fit?
The tabs are designed around a 3.5" diameter axle housing. They can be modified during fabrication to fit a 4" axle housing.
What rod ends are these mounts designed for?
The 2.375" wide mounts are designed to work with 1.25" rod ends with a 1" bore, including WOD XMR16 and XML16 rod ends when used with the appropriate misalignment spacers.
Which misalignment spacers should I use?
Use WOD WA01040 misalignment spacers with a 1" hole for the intended XMR16/XML16 rod-end setup.
Does one kit mount both lower links on an axle?
Yes. One kit contains the side tabs and upper gusset/cap tabs required to fabricate the lower link mounts on one axle.
Do these axle link tabs bolt on?
No. This is a weld-on fabrication kit. The tabs must be positioned for the suspension geometry of the vehicle and welded to the axle housing.
