Product Details

The QA1 AIB6 is an AIB Series spherical bearing engineered for demanding suspension and rod end applications. Built from heat-treated chromoly (alloy) steel, this bearing delivers superior wear characteristics compared to traditional carbon steel counterparts, making it an ideal upgrade or direct replacement in high-performance and racing environments.

Key Features:

  • Ball: 52100 bearing steel — heat treated, precision ground, and hard chrome plated for smooth, long-lasting operation
  • Race: Alloy/chromoly steel — heat treated and protective coated for corrosion resistance
  • Metal-to-metal design for maximum strength and load capacity
  • Inner bore diameter: 0.375 in. (3/8 in.)
  • Receiver race diameter: 0.844 in.
  • Rod end ball diameter: 0.719 in.
  • Inner ball width: 0.500 in.
  • Race width: 0.406 in.
  • Misalignment angle: 9.5 degrees
  • Ultimate static radial load: 17,516 lbs.
  • Optional self-lubricating PTFE liner available in AIB-T Series variant
  • Sold individually

QA1's AIB Series spherical bearings are precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent fit and reliable performance in suspension links, control arms, and other rod end applications. The hard chrome plated ball surface reduces friction and extends service life even under heavy radial and angular loads.
