Product Details

The QA1 KML16T is a precision, 3-piece carbon steel male rod end from QA1's KM-T Series, featuring a PTFE liner for smooth, maintenance-free operation. Built with a left-hand thread and a 1-inch bore, this rod end is engineered for applications demanding tighter tolerances and consistent performance.

QA1's 3-piece construction presses the ball into a sleeve that is swaged around the ball to form the insert. The insert's outer diameter is then precision-turned and faced to ensure square sides before staking into the rod end body. This process delivers superior ball-to-race conformity and tighter dimensional tolerances compared to standard rod ends.

Key Features:

  • 3-piece precision construction for tighter tolerances and better ball-to-race conformity
  • PTFE liner for smooth articulation and maintenance-free operation
  • Left-hand thread, inch dimensions
  • 1-inch bore diameter

Ball:

  • 52100 bearing steel
  • Heat treated
  • Hard chrome plated
  • Precision ground

Race:

  • Alloy steel construction
  • Corrosion and wear resistant
  • PTFE lined

Body:

  • Carbon steel (alloy steel at manufacturer's option)
  • Protective coating for corrosion resistance

The QA1 KML16T is well-suited for suspension links, steering components, and other high-precision chassis applications where tight tolerances and reliable articulation are critical.
