Product Details

The QA1 XML8-12 is a heavy-duty male rod end from the XM Series Chromoly Steel line, designed for ultimate performance in demanding motorsports applications. Commonly used on 4-link and ladder bar suspension setups, this rod end delivers exceptional strength and durability where it matters most.

Featuring QA1's innovative Endura Racing Series loaded slot design, the XML8-12 utilizes a machined groove around the interior body with an injection-molded Nylon/PTFE race. This design provides self-sealing and self-lubricating operation that keeps dirt and debris out while preventing the race from pounding out over time—significantly extending service life compared to traditional three-piece rod ends.

Ball Construction:

  • 52100 bearing steel construction
  • Heat treated for maximum strength
  • Hard chrome plated finish
  • Precision ground for smooth operation

Race Features:

  • Injection-molded Nylon/PTFE compound
  • Self-lubricating design eliminates maintenance
  • Self-sealing to exclude contaminants
  • Won't pound out like traditional PTFE liners

Body Specifications:

  • Heat-treated chromoly steel construction
  • Protective coating for corrosion resistance
  • Increased cross-sectional thickness for greater tensile strength
  • Metal-to-metal support for heavy shock loads

The XML8-12 represents the pinnacle of rod end design for serious racing applications where strength, reliability, and longevity are non-negotiable.

Title

QA1 Suspension Rod End Bearing XML8-12

I sent my order for some comp cams lifters on Monday 1-16-2012 at around 8:30 and the Item was still shipped on the next day Tuesday. This was awesome. I received my product on 1-19-2012. They have had the fastest turn around time that I have ever delt with. I would highly recommend them for your auto parts needs. They also had the cheapest price I could fine, including the shipping fee.<br>I like the fact that they sent me an e-mail that my item had shipped and gave the shipping number for tracking.

Very happy with my purchase and product from Autoplicity! Highly recommend.

I've thought about this...Better communication would be a plus. However, the shipping is quick and I did get an email telling me my product was shipped. I purchased window visors for my '07 Silverado. I will do business with Autoplicity again.

Autoplicity had the part I needed at the best price I could find anywhere, and with their quick shipping I had the part in less than a week. Thanks Autoplicity

Item arrived promptly (4 days after order), price was good and item was as described.

Super fast shipping.<br>I ordered husky front and rear floor mat for 2012 Prius.<br>It was delivered in 2 business days.<br>The product quality is very good.<br><br>Thank you,
