QA1 MHMR20T-1 MH Series 3-Piece Rod End 20mm Bore M20x1.5 RH Male PTFE Lined

The QA1 MHMR20T-1 is a precision-engineered metric rod end from QA1's MHM-T Series, designed for applications requiring tight tolerances and exceptional durability. This traditional three-piece rod end features a 20mm bore with M20 x 1.5 right-hand male threads, making it ideal for suspension linkages, steering components, and custom fabrication projects.

Construction and Design:

• Three-piece design: ball is pressed into a sleeve, which is then swaged around the ball to create the insert assembly
• After swaging, the outer diameter of the insert is precision turned and faced for exacting tolerances
• Higher ball-to-race conformity creates tighter tolerances than standard rod ends
• Self-lubricating PTFE liner reduces friction and extends service life

Ball Specifications:

• Material: 52100 bearing steel for superior strength and wear resistance
• Heat treated for increased hardness and durability
• Hard chrome plated surface resists corrosion and wear
• Precision ground for smooth articulation

Race and Body:

• Race constructed from low carbon steel with corrosion and wear resistant properties
• Body manufactured from chromoly steel for excellent strength-to-weight ratio
• Heat treated body for enhanced structural integrity
• Protective coating provides corrosion resistance in harsh environments

Technical Specifications:

• Bore Diameter: 20.000mm
• Thread Size: M20 x 1.5
• Thread Direction: Right-hand (RH)
• Thread Type: Male
• Liner: PTFE (self-lubricating)

This rod end is ideal for precision applications where tight tolerances are critical, including racing suspensions, custom steering linkages, and high-performance fabrication projects. Available in both right-hand and left-hand thread configurations, with studded variants also offered.
