Product Details

The QA1 KML5TS is a precision-engineered 3-piece rod end featuring a carbon steel body with a Teflon-lined race for smooth, maintenance-free articulation. Designed for performance steering, suspension, and linkage applications where precise geometry and durability are essential, this rod end delivers reliable performance under demanding conditions.

The male left-hand (M-L) threaded shank measures 5/16"-24 thread pitch with a 5/16" ball bore, making it a direct-fit solution for custom steering linkages, panhard bars, sway bar end links, and other performance chassis components. The Teflon liner eliminates the need for periodic lubrication while reducing friction and wear over the service life of the joint.

Key Features:

  • 3-piece construction — carbon steel housing, ball stud, and Teflon liner for superior strength and durability
  • Teflon (PTFE) liner — maintenance-free, self-lubricating for long service life
  • Male left-hand thread shank — 5/16"-24 UNF thread for easy installation and precise adjustment
  • 5/16" ball bore — compatible with standard 5/16" mounting hardware
  • Carbon steel body — high-strength construction for performance and racing use
  • Designed for use in steering, suspension, and chassis linkage applications

QA1 Precision Products is a trusted name in motorsport and performance aftermarket engineering, manufacturing rod ends, shocks, and driveshafts to exacting tolerances. The KML5TS is an ideal replacement or upgrade component for racers and performance enthusiasts building or servicing custom chassis systems.

Prices are among the lowest around. Had a change with my order. Customer support team was quick to respond to emails and make corrections. Will order from Autoplicity again.

I ordered the HuskyLiners 98891 Floor Liners for my 2012 Hyundai Elantra on 5/29, received them 5/31. Order #15417. Apparently they have warehouses all over the country to ensure quick delivery. They had the best price on the net. Item arrived in perfect condition. <br><br>Their website needs a little work because I found the item thru Google and not directly from their website. You also can't edit your cart unless you register first which was annoying. Items could use product descriptions - you have to get info from the manufacturer's site. The real-time inventory was a plus.<br><br>Deducted a star because their website needs work.

Great price, good e-mail communication and fast shipping. Positive experience with Autoplicity so far.

Prices are great on this site. The layout and checkout process are easy to use; Google checkout is definitely a plus. Shipping could be a little faster, especially if they had drop ships from their supplies for items not currently in stock. Overall good service and no problems.

I bought this item for my fiance and he loves it! He was completely happy with the price we paid...

Autoplicity has made my parts search so much easier. With the best price gurantee, i can now make autoplicity my one-stop shop for all my parts needs.

Good site easy to search for and find parts. The lowest prices on almost every part I have been able to find for my truck.
