Product Details

The QA1 KML16T-1 is a K Series three-piece carbon steel male rod end featuring a self-lubricating PTFE race liner. Engineered for precision and durability, this rod end is built for high-load applications in racing, performance suspension, and industrial linkage systems. The left-hand thread configuration makes it ideal for use in adjustable tie rods, control arms, and other applications requiring opposing thread directions for length adjustment.

Key Features:

  • Three-piece construction using carbon steel (alloy/chromoly steel at manufacturer's option)
  • PTFE race liner for self-lubricating, maintenance-friendly operation
  • Ball: 52100 bearing steel — heat treated, precision ground, and hard chrome plated
  • Race: Alloy steel, corrosion and wear resistant
  • Body: Carbon steel with protective coating for corrosion resistance
  • 1.000 in. bore diameter
  • 1-1/4 UNS left-hand (LH) male thread
  • Available in left- and right-hand thread variants across the K Series lineup

QA1's KM-T Series rod ends are a trusted choice for circle track racing, drag racing, street rod builds, and performance automotive applications. The PTFE liner eliminates the need for frequent greasing while maintaining smooth articulation under load. The hard chrome plated, precision ground ball provides long service life even in demanding environments.

Great Price fast shipping, I can't complain.

Great transaction. The bike rack was about $90 less than a local retailer, and shipping was faster than promised. I wish all internet retailers were this reliable and useful.
