Product Details

The QA1 AFR4 is a precision aluminum female rod end from the AF Endura Series, designed for high-performance motorsports applications where weight reduction and durability are critical. This loaded slot-style rod end features QA1's patented Endura design with an injection-molded Nylon/PTFE race that provides superior wear resistance compared to traditional three-piece aluminum rod ends.

Key Features:

  • Aircraft-grade aluminum body with red anodized finish
  • 1/4" bore size with right-hand female threading
  • 52100 bearing steel ball, heat-treated and hard chrome plated for maximum durability
  • Self-sealing and self-lubricating Nylon/PTFE race keeps dirt and debris out
  • Over 10% lighter than conventional three-piece aluminum rod ends
  • Metal-to-metal support for heavy shock loads
  • Increased cross-sectional thickness for greater tensile strength
  • Injection-molded race won't pound out like traditional PTFE liners

Endura Technology:

The Endura Series utilizes a loaded slot design where the body is machined with a continuous groove around the interior. After the precision-ground ball is inserted, a Nylon/PTFE material is injected to create a durable race that serves as both a seal and lubricant. This innovative design provides exceptional longevity and performance in demanding racing environments.

Ideal for suspension linkages, control arms, and other applications where a lightweight, high-strength rod end is required. The AF Series represents the most wear-resistant aluminum rod end design available for competitive motorsports.

FAST SHIPPING

Was a little hesitant at first about the company because I've never worked with them before. Saved a ton of money and had a great experience. Will be a returning customer!

As reported to Dawn in Customer Service: [1] Fedex bungled the delivery, letting the package sit for 3 rainy days outdoors in an unused area of the property and [2] the mufffler had a 1.5" inward dent. I provided 4 pictures and a full account of the 2 issues and asked for a cordial settlement in the form of an unspecified refund proportionate with those issues. Instead, I received an near-full refund. I was so impressed, I called and thanked Dawn for the exemplary handling of the matter. I gave a technical 3-star rating in regard to the product's condition. More importantly and except for that, I gave a well-deserved 5-star rating. Thank you.

Easy, fast and no problems! Thank You!
