Product Details

The QA1 KML16-2 is a K Series three-piece carbon steel rod end featuring a male mounting configuration with a 1-inch bore and 1-12 UNS left-hand threads. Engineered for high-load suspension and steering applications, this precision rod end delivers reliable articulation and long service life in demanding performance environments.

The three-piece construction uses a heat-treated, hard chrome plated 52100 bearing steel ball that is precision ground for consistent, smooth operation. The body is constructed from carbon steel with a protective coating applied for corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both motorsport and performance street applications.

Key Features:

  • Series: K Series three-piece design
  • Bore: 1.000 in.
  • Thread: 1-12 UNS left-hand male
  • Ball Material: 52100 bearing steel, heat treated, hard chrome plated, precision ground
  • Body Material: Carbon steel (alloy steel — manufacturer's option), protective coated for corrosion resistance
  • Available in right- and left-hand thread configurations and multiple bore sizes
  • Grease fitting and stud configurations available

QA1 K Series rod ends are trusted by circle track, drag racing, street performance, and street rod builders who demand precision-fit components. The left-hand thread designation on the KML16-2 makes it ideal for use in adjustable suspension links and tie rods where a left-hand/right-hand thread pairing is required.
