Product Details

The QA1 KML10-12 is a 3-piece carbon steel male rod end from QA1's KM Series, engineered for applications demanding tight tolerances and precise articulation. In QA1's 3-piece construction, the ball is pressed into a sleeve that is swaged around it to form an insert. The insert's outer diameter is then turned down and faced to square the sides before being staked into the rod end body — a process that delivers superior ball-to-race conformity compared to standard rod ends.

This KML (left-hand thread) rod end features a 5/8-18 LH thread shank with a 3/4 inch bore, making it well-suited for suspension links, steering components, and performance chassis applications where precise geometry control is critical.

Ball Specifications:

  • 52100 bearing steel construction
  • Heat treated for maximum strength
  • Hard chrome plated for durability and corrosion resistance
  • Precision ground for tight tolerances

Race Specifications:

  • Alloy steel construction
  • Corrosion and wear resistant

Body Specifications:

  • Carbon steel body (alloy steel available as manufacturer's option)
  • Protective coating for corrosion resistance
  • Male (shank) configuration
  • Left-hand thread

QA1's KM Series rod ends are available in right and left-hand threads and inch dimensions. Grease fitting and stud configurations are also available within the KM Series lineup. This precision rod end is an ideal choice for performance suspension systems, race cars, and custom chassis builds where accurate, repeatable joint geometry is essential.
