The QA1 XM Chromoly Steel Series male rod end is engineered for demanding motorsport and automotive suspension applications, including 4-link systems and ladder bars. Part number qapXML16 features a 1-inch bore and 1-1/4-12 left-hand threads for secure, precise installation in high-performance chassis assemblies. Its robust construction delivers the strength, durability, and consistent quality required for competitive and heavy-duty use.
The rod end body is manufactured from heat-treated chromoly steel and finished with a protective coating to help resist corrosion. The ball is made from heat-treated 52100 bearing steel, hard chrome plated, and precision ground for smooth, reliable articulation. Metal-to-metal support helps the rod end withstand heavy shock loads, while increased cross-sectional thickness improves tensile strength and overall structural performance.
A Nylon/PTFE injection-molded race provides self-sealing and self-lubricating operation, helping keep dirt and debris away from the bearing surfaces while reducing maintenance requirements. The X Series loader slot design supports demanding load conditions and precise suspension movement. QA1 XM Series rod ends are built for motorsport applications where dependable performance, accurate tolerances, and long service life are essential.
