Product Details

The QA1 KML8TS is a K Series three-piece carbon steel male rod end featuring a self-lubricating PTFE liner and a stud configuration. Built with a left-hand, 1/2 in.-20 thread and a 1/2 in. bore, this precision rod end is engineered for high-load applications where tight tolerances and reliable articulation are critical.

Key Features:

  • Three-piece construction with higher ball-to-race conformity for tighter tolerances and superior precision
  • Self-lubricating PTFE liner reduces friction and extends service life without the need for frequent re-lubrication
  • Ball: 52100 bearing steel, heat treated, precision ground, and hard chrome plated for wear resistance
  • Race: Alloy steel, corrosion and wear resistant, PTFE lined
  • Body: Carbon steel (alloy/chromoly steel at manufacturer's option), protective coated for corrosion resistance
  • Left-hand male thread: 1/2 in.-20 LH for use in adjustable linkage applications
  • 1/2 in. bore for compatibility with standard 1/2 in. fasteners and pivot hardware
  • Stud configuration for direct mounting without a separate bolt

QA1's K Series rod ends are a trusted choice for circle track, drag racing, street performance, and street rod applications. The KML8TS is sold individually and is designed to deliver long-lasting, maintenance-friendly performance in steering, suspension, and linkage systems.

Autoplicity so far has been great place to buy online automotive stuff. Good prices and well organized.

Very nice looking item. Now I just got to get it installed. Prompt shipping and best prices anywhere.

You had the lowest prices on my item that I could find.

I think I had to remind them to ship my item but once I did it shipped the next day. The package had the wrong label on it so I wondered if I got the right item but I did and all is well.
