QA1 XMR7-8S X Series Alloy Loader Slot Rod End 7/16in Bore 1/2-20 RH Male Stud PTFE Lined

The QA1 XMR7-8S is an X Series alloy/chromoly steel male rod end featuring a unique loader slot design built for ultra-high strength and performance in demanding steering and suspension applications. This studded configuration includes a pre-attached carbon steel stud with right-hand threads, allowing for easier installation and greater misalignment angle than standard bolt-mounted rod ends.

The XM Series design delivers metal-to-metal support for heavy shock loads while maintaining smooth articulation under lighter loads. The reinforced Nylon 12 injection molded race with self-lubricating PTFE liner seals out dirt and debris without requiring regular greasing, making this rod end an excellent choice for performance, race, and high-horsepower builds.
