QA1 AIB8T AIB-T Series Chromoly Spherical Bearing 1/2 in. Bore PTFE Lined

The QA1 AIB8T is a chromoly steel spherical bearing from QA1's AIB-T Series, featuring a self-lubricating PTFE liner for reduced friction and maintenance-free operation. Constructed from higher-grade alloy/chromoly steel, the AIB-T delivers superior wear characteristics compared to traditional carbon steel spherical bearings, making it a smart upgrade for performance suspension and linkage applications.

The bearing ball is manufactured from 52100 bearing steel, precision ground to tight tolerances, heat treated for hardness, and then hard chrome plated for a smooth, durable surface. The chromoly steel race is similarly heat treated and features an I.D. protective coating for corrosion resistance along with an oil coating for added protection. A stainless steel race option is also available at the manufacturer's discretion.
