Product Details

The QA1 EXFR8 is a carbon steel female rod end from QA1's EX Series, offering an economical alternative to chromoly steel while delivering exceptional performance and durability. Part of the innovative Endura Racing Series, this rod end features a unique loaded slot design that provides superior strength and longevity compared to traditional rod ends.

Loaded Slot Design Technology:

The body is machined with a precision groove around the interior. After the ball is inserted into the slot, a reinforced Nylon/PTFE material is injection molded to create a race that serves multiple functions. This race acts as a self-lubricating bearing surface while simultaneously sealing out dirt and debris. Unlike traditional PTFE liners that can pound out over time, the injection molded race maintains its integrity for extended service life.

Key Specifications:

  • Bore diameter: 1/2 inch
  • Thread size: 1/2-20 right-hand female
  • Self-sealing and self-lubricating design
  • Metal-to-metal support for heavy shock loads
  • Increased cross-sectional thickness for greater tensile strength

Ball Construction:

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

Race Material:

  • Nylon/PTFE injection molded compound
  • Self-lubricating for maintenance-free operation
  • Self-sealing to keep contaminants out
  • Won't pound out like traditional liners

Body Construction:

  • Carbon steel (alloy steel per manufacturer's option)
  • Protective coated for corrosion resistance
  • Increased wall thickness for superior strength

Applications:

Ideal for control arms, panhard bars, 4-link rods, circle track trailing arms, and pullbars where economical performance is needed. The EX Series provides excellent value for applications where the extreme strength of chromoly isn't required but reliability and longevity are still essential.
