Product Details

The QA1 KML7-8T is a K Series three-piece carbon steel male rod end featuring a PTFE race lining for smooth, self-lubricating operation. Designed for precision performance in high-load automotive, racing, and industrial applications, this rod end offers a 7/16 in. bore with 1/2-20 left-hand male threads, making it well-suited for use in suspension links, steering components, and custom fabrication projects where left-hand thread configurations are required.

Key Features:

Three-piece K Series construction — traditional design engineered for high-ball-to-race conformity and tighter tolerances
Ball: 52100 bearing steel, heat treated, hard chrome plated, and precision ground for long service life
Race: Alloy steel, heat treated, corrosion and wear resistant
Body: Carbon steel with protective coating for corrosion resistance
PTFE race lining — provides self-lubricating, maintenance-free operation and reduces friction
7/16 in. bore with 1/2-20 left-hand (LH) male threads
Available in grease fitting and stud configurations (sold separately)
Inch dimensions for easy integration with standard U.S. hardware

QA1's K Series rod ends are trusted by builders and racers across circle track, drag racing, street performance, and industrial applications. The PTFE-lined variant eliminates the need for periodic greasing, making it ideal for installations where access for maintenance is limited.
