The QA1 XM Chromoly Steel X Series rod end is a heavy-duty male loader slot rod end designed for demanding automotive and motorsport applications. Part qapXMR16 features a 1-inch bore and 1-1/4-12 right-hand threads, providing a strong and dependable connection for suspension systems, 4-link setups, ladder bars, and other high-load assemblies. Its male mounting design supports precise installation and reliable performance where strength and durability are essential.
The XM Series rod end is built with a heat-treated chromoly steel body and a protective coating that helps resist corrosion. The ball is manufactured from 52100 bearing steel, then heat treated, hard chrome plated, and precision ground for smooth, consistent movement. A Nylon/PTFE injection-molded race provides self-sealing and self-lubricating operation, helping keep dirt and debris away from the bearing surface while reducing maintenance requirements.
QA1 incorporates metal-to-metal support to handle heavy shock loads and increased cross-sectional thickness for improved tensile strength. Precise tolerances help deliver consistent fit and operation, while the durable construction is suited to a wide range of motorsport and performance automotive applications. The QA1 XM Series combines dependable materials, practical service life, and performance-focused engineering for builders who require a robust rod end solution.
