Product Details

The QA1 XML8 is a heavy-duty male rod end from the XM Series Chromoly Steel lineup, engineered for maximum strength and durability in demanding motorsports applications. Featuring QA1's exclusive Endura Racing Series loaded slot design, this rod end utilizes an injection-molded Nylon/PTFE race that provides superior performance over traditional three-piece designs. Commonly used on 4-link and ladder bar suspension systems, the XML8 delivers the ultimate combination of strength, longevity, and maintenance-free operation.

Key Features:

  • Chromoly steel body, heat-treated and protective coated for corrosion resistance
  • 52100 bearing steel ball, heat-treated, hard chrome plated, and precision ground
  • Self-lubricating and self-sealing Nylon/PTFE injection-molded race keeps dirt and debris out
  • 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, extending service life

The Endura Racing Series loaded slot design features a significant groove machined completely around the interior body. After the ball is inserted, the Nylon/PTFE material is injected to form a durable race that serves as both a seal and lubricant. This innovative construction provides exceptional wear resistance and eliminates the need for regular maintenance, making it ideal for racing, off-road, and high-performance street applications.

Prices are among the lowest around. Had a change with my order. Customer support team was quick to respond to emails and make corrections. Will order from Autoplicity again.

Excellent Website to Shop From and Excellent Email and Shipping imformation received promptly and prices are the best on the internet. Will definitely shop again and refer to my friends.

Excellent store! I found the fuel pump that I was looking for right away and for almost half the cost of competitors. Better yet, the order shipped out that night! I make a lot of online purchases and have grown accustomed to the normal lengthy process but this store knows what they're doing! Great experience overall and I will be sure to buy from them again and spread the word!

good price, 20% off was a bit deceiving

Great prices. Fast Shipping. I would definitely do business again.

Fast shipping , product just as described, and quality product.

There.was a bit of miscommunication between sales and shipping departments, but my order was filled and shipped as stated. Very low price, in fact the lowest on the net, and I did alot of research. Other than the shipping issue, I'm very satisfied and will buy more parts from them soon. Thank you!!!

Best place to find good products for cheap. I just got a jet programmer for almost $100 below the normal price. I also appreciate the fact that they gave me a call to make sure I was the one ordering.
