Product Details

The QA1 KML8-10T is a K Series three-piece carbon steel rod end engineered for high-load suspension and steering applications. Featuring a self-lubricating PTFE race liner, this rod end delivers smooth articulation and long service life without the need for frequent greasing. The male-threaded shank uses 5/8-18 left-hand threads with a 1/2 in. bore, making it an ideal choice for adjustable suspension links, tie rods, panhard bars, and other performance chassis components where opposing thread directions are required for easy length adjustment.

Key Features:

  • Three-piece construction ? alloy/carbon steel body with a separately assembled race and ball for superior strength and precise tolerances
  • 52100 bearing steel ball ? heat-treated, precision ground, and hard chrome plated for durability and wear resistance
  • Carbon steel body ? protective coated for corrosion resistance
  • PTFE race liner ? self-lubricating polytetrafluoroethylene liner reduces friction and eliminates the need for routine greasing
  • Male mounting configuration with 1/2 in. bore
  • 5/8-18 left-hand thread shank for use in turnbuckle-style adjustable link assemblies
  • Available in both right-hand and left-hand thread configurations to suit a wide range of applications
  • Sold individually

QA1's K Series rod ends are built to the precise tolerances demanded by circle track racing, drag racing, and performance street builds. The inclusion of a PTFE liner sets this series apart from standard metal-to-metal rod ends, providing a maintenance-friendly design suitable for demanding, high-load environments.

I was out of town, so I didn't have much time before my Dad's birthday to send something.. Unbelievably fast shipping! A++ The K&N air filter was the cheapest in the web!

SMOOTH TRANSACTION- you wont find all the items you need all in the same place elsewhere

Fast shipping and best price I found anywhere.

Fine

Ordered Thursday, shipped Monday... guess all in all we can't be disappointed. At least they had them in stock.
