Product Details

The QA1 XML7-8 is a heavy-duty male rod end from the XM Series, engineered for maximum strength and durability in demanding motorsports applications. Built with a chromoly steel body and featuring QA1's innovative Endura loaded slot design, this rod end is commonly used on 4-link suspensions, ladder bars, and other high-stress applications where reliability is critical.

Endura Loaded Slot Technology:

The Endura design features a machined groove around the interior of the body where a Nylon/PTFE material is injection molded after the ball is inserted. This creates a self-sealing, self-lubricating bearing surface that keeps dirt and debris out while preventing the race from pounding out like traditional PTFE liners—significantly extending rod end life.

Construction Specifications:

Body: Heat-treated chromoly steel with protective coating for corrosion resistance
Ball: 52100 bearing steel, heat treated, hard chrome plated, and precision ground
Race: Injection molded Nylon/PTFE for self-lubrication and self-sealing protection
Design: Increased cross-sectional thickness for greater tensile strength
Support: Metal-to-metal contact for heavy shock loads

The XM Series represents the ultimate in performance rod ends, combining the strength of chromoly steel with QA1's proprietary Endura race technology for unmatched reliability in high-load racing applications.
