QA1 HMR8 Male Rod End 1/2 Bore 1/2-20 Thread Chromoly 3-Piece — image 1

Product Details

The QA1 HMR8 is a precision-engineered male rod end from the HM Series, featuring premium chromoly steel construction with heat treatment for maximum strength and durability. This 3-piece design utilizes QA1's advanced manufacturing process where the ball is pressed into a sleeve, swaged, and then precision-machined into the rod end body, delivering superior ball-to-race conformity and tighter tolerances compared to standard 2-piece designs.

Key Features:

1/2 inch bore diameter with 1/2-20 right-hand thread
Heat-treated chromoly steel body for exceptional strength
52100 bearing steel ball with hard chrome plating and precision grinding
Chromoly heat-treated race for superior wear resistance
Protective corrosion-resistant coating throughout
3-piece construction for tighter tolerances and better performance
Male thread configuration for versatile mounting options

Construction Details:

Ball: Precision-ground 52100 bearing steel, heat treated and hard chrome plated
Race: Heat-treated chromoly steel with corrosion and wear-resistant finish
Body: Heat-treated chromoly steel with protective coating

Ideal for suspension systems, steering linkages, and control arms in racing, off-road, and high-performance street applications where precision articulation and durability under extreme loads are essential. The HM Series represents QA1's commitment to precision manufacturing with tolerances that exceed standard rod end specifications.

I ordered a set of inner tie rods for my car from Autoplicity and found their prices to be the lowest online for the brand I was looking for. Items were ship out in 2 business days from the original manufacturer. Shipping prices were kind of on the expensive end considering the package size and weight so if Autoplicity adjust their shipping prices to be more competitive, I think their service and pricing would be hard to beat!

I was very pleased with my transaction with Autoplicity. My order was shipped the next day and received the following day. The pricing was also the best I could find. I would definitely buy from them again and recommend them to others.

I'll start off saying that Autoplicity's prices are unbeatable...but, I placed my order on a Saturday night (which I know is the weekend)on a in stock part and it took them till the following Thursday to ship it out. I use my truck to make a living and was hoping to get it a little quicker, but now I'm down another 3-4 days till the part gets here. Also, I sent a e-mail on Tuesday evening regaurding my order and never got a response.
