QA1 KML16-1 KM Series 3-Piece Carbon Steel Male Rod End 1in. Bore Left-Hand Thread — image 1

Product Details

The QA1 KML16-1 is a precision three-piece carbon steel male rod end from QA1's KM Series, featuring a 1-inch bore and 1-1/4-12 left-hand thread. In QA1's 3-piece construction, the ball is pressed into a sleeve that is swaged around the ball to form an insert. The outer diameter of the insert is then turned down and faced to square the sides for staking into the rod end body. This manufacturing process delivers superior ball-to-race conformity and tighter tolerances compared to standard two-piece designs, making it ideal for performance suspension, steering, and linkage applications that demand precision.

Key Features:

3-Piece Construction — swaged insert design for improved ball-to-race conformity and tighter tolerances
Left-Hand Thread — 1-1/4-12 LH thread for use in adjustable linkage assemblies
1-Inch Bore — precision ground to exacting dimensions
Available with optional grease fittings and stud configurations

52100 Bearing Steel

Body:

Had my product in stock and ready to go. Ordered it at about 1 p.m. eastern time and got an email saying it was shipped out a couple hours later. Can't beat that! Lowest prices I've seen and has plenty of products to choose from. I will be recommending Autoplicity to everyone and anyone.
