Product Details

The QA1 KML7-8 is a K-Series three-piece alloy steel rod end designed for high-performance suspension, steering, and chassis linkage applications. Engineered to deliver precise articulation and long-lasting durability, this rod end features a carbon-lined race-grade bearing housed in a forged alloy steel body for exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.

Key Features:

Series: K-Series three-piece alloy steel construction
Bore Size: 7/16" inner diameter
Thread Size: 1/2"-20 left-hand (LH) thread
Mounting Style: Male threaded shank
Liner Material: Carbon-lined bearing for smooth, low-friction articulation
Body Material: Alloy steel for high tensile and radial load capacity
Thread Direction: Left-hand thread — ideal for use in adjustable turnbuckle-style linkage assemblies

QA1's K-Series rod ends are a popular choice among racers and performance builders for suspension links, panhard bars, trailing arms, and other critical chassis components. The carbon liner offers excellent wear resistance and requires no grease, making it a low-maintenance solution for demanding environments. The left-hand thread on this male rod end pairs naturally with right-hand threaded counterparts to allow easy length adjustment without disassembly.
