QA1 KMR7-8TS K Series 3-Piece Carbon Steel Rod End 7/16in Bore 1/2in-20 RH Male PTFE Lined Stud

The QA1 KMR7-8TS is a K Series 3-piece carbon steel male rod end featuring a self-lubricating PTFE (Teflon) liner and a pre-attached stud configuration. Designed for high-load performance applications including steering linkages, suspension systems, and race car chassis builds, this rod end delivers precise, smooth articulation with minimal maintenance requirements.

Key Features:

• 3-Piece Construction: Traditional three-piece design for strength and precision across demanding automotive and racing applications
• 7/16 in. (0.4375 in.) Bore with a 1/2 in.-20 UNF right-hand male thread
• PTFE Liner: Self-lubricating Teflon liner reduces friction and wear, extending service life without requiring re-lubrication
• Stud Configuration: Pre-attached stud with right-hand threads allows for higher misalignment angles compared to standard bolt-mounted applications
• Ball: 52100 bearing steel, heat treated, hard chrome plated, and precision ground for optimal load capacity and durability
• Body: Carbon steel (alloy/chromoly steel per manufacturer's option), protectively coated for corrosion resistance
• Right-Hand Thread Direction for standard installation compatibility
• ISO 9001 Certified Quality: Manufactured under strict quality controls for consistent, reliable performance

The QA1 KMR7-8TS is well-suited for circle track racing, drag racing, street performance builds, and industrial applications where a maintenance-free, high-precision spherical rod end is required. It is part of QA1's extensive K Series lineup, which is also available in varying bore sizes, thread pitches, and configurations including grease-zerk and left-hand thread variants.
