QA1 MXML14 Metric Male Rod End Endura Racing Series

The QA1 MXML14 is a metric male rod end from the Endura Racing Series, featuring QA1's innovative loaded slot design. This high-performance rod end utilizes a unique construction where the ball is inserted into a machined slot in the body, and a Nylon/PTFE material is injected to serve as a self-lubricating, self-sealing race. This design keeps dirt and debris out while providing superior wear resistance compared to traditional three-piece rod ends that can pound out over time.

Key Features:

• Loaded slot design with injection molded Nylon/PTFE race that won't pound out
• Self-lubricating and self-sealing for maintenance-free operation
• Metal-to-metal support for heavy shock loads
• Increased cross-sectional thickness for greater tensile strength
• Metric male thread configuration

Ball Specifications:

• 52100 bearing steel construction
• Heat treated for maximum durability
• Hard chrome plated surface
• Precision ground finish

Race Specifications:

• Nylon/PTFE injection molded material
• Self-lubricating operation
• Self-sealing design keeps contaminants out

Body Construction:

• High-strength chromoly steel or carbon steel (depending on series)
• Heat treated for enhanced strength
• Protective coating for corrosion resistance

Ideal for motorsports applications including 4-link suspensions, ladder bars, and other demanding racing applications where strength, durability, and maintenance-free operation are critical. The Endura Racing Series design represents the best rod end technology for serious competition use.
