QA1 KML8T K-Series 3-Piece Rod End 1/2" Bore 1/2-20 Left Hand Thread Male — image 1

Product Details

The QA1 KML8T is a K-Series three-piece alloy steel rod end engineered for high-performance suspension and steering applications. Featuring a carbon-reinforced PTFE race lining, this rod end delivers smooth articulation, reduced friction, and long-lasting durability without requiring lubrication.

Key Features:

K-Series Three-Piece Construction: Alloy steel housing, ball, and race for superior strength and load capacity
Carbon PTFE Race Lining: Provides self-lubricating, maintenance-free performance under high-stress conditions
Male Mounting Configuration: Threaded shank for straightforward installation
1/2" Bore: Accepts 1/2" diameter pivot hardware
1/2-20 Left-Hand Thread: Left-hand (LH) thread pitch allows for use in adjustable linkages and tie rod assemblies
Misalignment Capability: Ball-and-socket design accommodates angular misalignment for dynamic suspension geometry

QA1's K-Series rod ends are a popular choice for racing, off-road, and performance street builds where precision, strength, and reliability are essential. The left-hand thread designation makes the KML8T ideal for use as a pair with a right-hand threaded counterpart to create fully adjustable control arms, push rods, or tie rods.
