Product Details

The QA1 HML8 is a precision 3-piece alloy steel male rod end from the HM Series, designed for high-performance suspension applications requiring tight tolerances and exceptional durability. This chromoly steel rod end features left-hand threading and delivers superior ball-to-race conformity through QA1's advanced manufacturing process.

3-Piece Construction:

QA1's 3-piece design presses the ball into a sleeve that is swaged around the ball to create the insert. The insert's outer diameter is then precision-turned and faced for staking into the rod end body, ensuring tighter tolerances and better ball-to-race conformity than traditional designs.

HM Series Specifications:

  • Ball: 52100 bearing steel, heat treated, hard chrome plated, and precision ground
  • Race: Chromoly heat-treated steel with corrosion and wear-resistant finish
  • Body: Heat-treated chromoly steel with protective coating for corrosion resistance
  • Thread: Left-hand male thread (1/2-20)
  • Applications: Racing suspension, off-road vehicles, custom suspension builds, steering linkages

Key Features:

  • Precision tolerance design ideal for demanding applications
  • Heat-treated chromoly construction throughout for maximum strength
  • Hard chrome plated ball reduces friction and extends service life
  • Protective coating on body resists corrosion in harsh environments
  • Available with grease fittings and various stud configurations
  • Made in USA by QA1 Precision Products

This rod end is engineered for applications where precision, strength, and reliability are critical, making it an excellent choice for race cars, high-performance street vehicles, and custom suspension systems.
