QA1 Precision Products Carbon Steel Rod End Bearing Bore Hand Thread

QA1 Precision Products carbon steel rod end bearings (also called heim joints or rod ends) are spherical bearings. They make a pivoting, articulating connection in suspension links, control arms, panhard bars, trailing arms, steering linkage and other mechanical linkages. The line comes in male and female thread styles, with right-hand or left-hand threads, so you can match the rod end to your linkage setup.

Key Features:

• Carbon steel bodies: The strong body holds up in demanding linkage applications.
• Corrosion protection: A protective coating on the body resists corrosion and wear.
• Precision ball: Many designs use a heat-treated, precision-ground 52100 bearing steel ball, hard chrome plated for durability.
• Race options: Depending on the series, the race is traditional two-piece construction, oil-impregnated sintered bronze, or precision-ground alloy steel. Some versions have a PTFE liner for self-lubrication.
• Thread options: Right-hand and left-hand threads are available, so you can adjust length and alignment through opposing-thread linkages.
• Configurations: Male and female styles are offered, with options such as grease fittings and stud configurations in some series.

QA1 rod ends suit motorsports, off-road builds, custom fabrication, and commercial and industrial applications. Choose the bore size, thread size, thread direction and series that fit your project.
