Product Details

The QA1 KML16 is a KM Series 3-piece carbon steel male rod end featuring a 1 in. bore and 1-1/4-12 left-hand thread. QA1's 3-piece construction presses the ball into a sleeve that is swaged around the ball to form the insert. The outer diameter of the insert is then precision turned and faced to square up the sides before being staked into the rod end body — resulting in superior ball-to-race conformity and tighter operating tolerances compared to standard 2-piece designs.

The KML16 is well-suited for performance suspension, steering, and linkage applications where precise tolerances and durability under load are critical. Grease fittings and stud configurations are available separately.

QA1 Suspension Rod End Bearing KML16

Not only did they have an great price on my part, and reasonable shipping charges, they shipped it right away.<br>I know I will be checking them for future parts.

Shopped around for a VDO gauge all over the internet incluing ebay, amazon and at least a dozen online retailers. Autoplicity was at least 10% cheaper than anybody else and a good 30% cheaper than most. The outstanding reviews made me more confident in ordering fom them for the first time.

I've had great service, quick shipment and awesome prices from Autoplicity. Definitely would recommend to anyone. I've placed multiple orders with them and everything is great!

Just recieved my order and the pit jug and spout were perfect. The shipping was very fast and it was by far the best price I could get on these products. Autoplicity is great.

We ordered a Impact racing helmet for $100.00 less than what we would've paid the manufacturer. We received it sooner than expected. The helmet was excellent!! We would order for this site again in the future!!! Thank you Autoplicity!!

Great prices, fast shipping. Great order status updates.

Need it quick as possible please need it for my license. Thanks y'all are the cheapest auto part store around.

I purchased an Airaid throttle body spacer, they has they cheapest price on the web, no one else could even compare to the prices here at Autoplicity, I will definitely order from in the future!

The prices and selection are best. The cutomer service rep. did a good job in handling all my questions, and placed my order. I will be using Autoplicity for all my auto parts.

Best price I found and VERY fast shipping. Very happy.
