QA1 MHMR16Z-1 HM Series Male Rod End with Zerk 3-Piece 1in Bore RH Thread

The QA1 MHMR16Z-1 is a male, right-hand threaded, 3-piece rod end from QA1's HM Series, featuring alloy steel construction and a Zerk grease fitting for easy lubrication. Designed for high-load suspension, steering, and chassis link applications where durability and precise articulation are critical.

3-Piece Construction:

In QA1's 3-piece rod end design, the chromite steel ball is pressed into a steel sleeve that is then swaged around the ball. Once swaged, this assembly becomes the insert. The outer diameter of the insert is then precision-turned and faced to exact tolerances before being pressed into the housing. This manufacturing process produces a tighter, stronger assembly compared to conventional 2-piece rod ends, resulting in superior load capacity and extended service life.

Key Features:

• Series: HM Series — alloy steel housing and ball for high-strength performance
• Gender: Male (externally threaded shank)
• Thread Direction: Right-hand (RH) thread
• Bore Size: 1 inch (Size 16)
• Grease Fitting: Zerk fitting included for in-service lubrication and extended component life
• Construction: 3-piece swaged insert design for maximum strength and minimal play
• Material: Alloy steel housing with chromite steel ball

QA1's HM Series rod ends are a popular choice for performance suspension builds, race cars, and heavy-duty chassis fabrication. The Zerk fitting allows the joint to be greased without removal, making it well-suited for applications subject to frequent articulation and harsh conditions.
