QA1 MHML16Z-1 MH Series 3-Piece Alloy Rod End 16mm Bore M16x1.5 LH Male Thread with Zerk

The QA1 MHML16Z-1 is a precision-engineered MH Series three-piece alloy/chromoly steel male rod end featuring a 16mm bore and M16x1.5 left-hand male thread with an integrated grease fitting (Zerk). Designed for performance suspension, steering, and linkage applications where tight tolerances and long service life are essential.

In QA1's three-piece rod end design, the ball is pressed into a sleeve that is swaged around the ball to form the insert. The outer diameter of the insert is then precision turned and faced before being pressed into the body, resulting in a higher ball-to-race conformity and tighter tolerances compared to standard rod ends.

Key Features:

• Three-Piece Construction: Higher ball-to-race conformity for tighter tolerances and superior precision
• 16mm Bore with M16x1.5 Left-Hand Male Thread
• Zerk Grease Fitting Included: Enables regular lubrication to extend service life, reduce wear, and maintain performance
• Heat Treated Throughout: Body and ball are both heat treated for maximum strength and durability
• Ball: 52100 Bearing Steel, heat treated, precision ground, hard chrome plated
• Race: Alloy/Chromoly steel, corrosion and wear resistant
• Body: Alloy/Chromoly steel, heat treated with protective coating for corrosion resistance
• Ideal for precision applications in performance street, race, and custom fabrication environments

The QA1 MHML16Z-1 metric male rod end is sold individually and is well-suited for suspension links, tie rods, steering components, and other high-load articulating connections where dependable, rebuildable performance is required.
