Product Details

The QA1 KML8SZ is a 3-piece male rod end engineered for high-performance steering, suspension, and chassis linkage applications. Featuring a left-hand thread configuration with a 1/2 in. bore and 1/2 in.-20 stud thread, this rod end allows for precise toe, bump steer, and alignment adjustments without removing the assembly from the vehicle.

Constructed from carbon steel, the KML8SZ uses a 3-piece design that houses a precision spherical bearing for smooth, full-range articulation under load. The integrated Zerk grease fitting allows for routine maintenance lubrication, extending service life in demanding race and performance street environments.

Key Features:

  • 3-piece carbon steel construction for strength and durability
  • Male, left-hand thread — 1/2 in.-20 LH stud for turnbuckle-style adjustment
  • 1/2 in. bore spherical bearing for precise articulation
  • Zerk grease fitting (ZRK) for easy field lubrication and extended service life
  • Designed for steering, suspension, and chassis linkage use
  • Compatible with standard 1/2 in.-20 threaded rod ends and heim joint assemblies

QA1 rod ends are a trusted choice among racers and performance builders for their consistent dimensional tolerances and long-term reliability. The left-hand thread pairs with a right-hand rod end to allow quick length adjustment — ideal for panhard bars, toe links, and tie rod assemblies.

ok so far

Excellent shipping received very fast and well packaged

Incredibly low prices and fast shipping. I bought shocks and struts for my truck and saved more than 35% over what my local parts store wanted!!! I made the mistake of not setting up my account before placing my order so I didn't get confirmation right away, but one quick phone call fixed that. Great customer service.

Very fast shipping and price is rite

Recently ordered a cargo liner and I must say, Autoplicity had the cheapest price anywhere! Excellent communication and super fast shipping! Will definitely do business with Autoplicity again! Thank you for a wonderful shopping experience!
