QA1 MXML16 Metric Male Rod End Endura Racing Series

The QA1 MXML16 is a metric male rod end from the Endura Racing Series, featuring QA1's innovative loaded slot design. This high-performance rod end features a machined body with a continuous interior groove that houses a precision-ground ball and injection-molded Nylon/PTFE race. This design creates a self-sealing, self-lubricating bearing that keeps dirt and debris out while providing superior longevity compared to traditional PTFE liners that can pound out over time.
