Product Details

The QA1 KFL8TS is a K Series 3-piece carbon steel female rod end featuring a 1/2 in. bore, 1/2-20 left-hand female thread, a self-lubricating PTFE-lined race, and a pre-attached stud configuration. Engineered for demanding steering and suspension applications, this rod end delivers the precision and durability that QA1 Precision Products is known for in performance automotive and racing environments.

The 3-piece design incorporates a hard chrome plated, heat-treated 52100 bearing steel ball and a corrosion-resistant, protective-coated carbon steel body. The PTFE-lined race provides smooth, maintenance-friendly operation by reducing friction without the need for constant re-lubrication. The integrated stud allows for higher misalignment angles compared to standard bolt-mounted rod end installations.

Key Features:

  • Series: K Series — 3-piece carbon steel construction
  • Bore: 0.5000 in. (1/2 in.)
  • Thread: 1/2 in.-20 Left-Hand Female
  • Race Liner: Self-lubricating PTFE for reduced friction and maintenance-free performance
  • Ball: 52100 bearing steel, heat treated, precision ground, hard chrome plated
  • Body: Carbon steel with protective coating for corrosion resistance
  • Configuration: Stud (pre-attached, right-hand threads) for increased misalignment capability
  • Available in both right- and left-hand thread configurations across the K Series lineup

The QA1 KFL8TS is well-suited for use in custom steering linkages, suspension control arms, panhard bars, and other high-load chassis applications where precision articulation and durability are critical.

Fast Shipping. Good packaging. Very good pricing. Will shop from again.

After searching for the best prices for the product that I wanted, I ended up with Autoplicity. I quickly got a response that my product has just been shipped and I am very impressed that Autoplicity is giving me an incentive to write a review on them. This tells me that this company is very concerned with the satisfaction of their customers. I am currently waiting for the order to arrive, but so far, I am extremely confident and happy with Autoplicity!

Great choices, quick checkout, great prices compared to competitors

Customer Care took care of my return and refunded the shipping after there was some order confusion. Thank you for taking care of everything!

Wow that was fast. I ordered a Pertronix Ignitor conversion kit. Not only were they by far the lowest price I could find, they shipped within hours of submitting the order. I got the shipment in less than 24 hrs, even though I ordered ground shipping. I was a little bummed that they did not offer free shipping, as I am used to with other online places, but with their fast turnaround, I am not begrudging it. Sure it might have been because they have a warehouse nearby, but it was still unexpectedly impressive. The part arrived and looks like it all there and should be good to go. <br><br>I can't vouch for their customer service, but so far I am pleasantly surprised.

My Superchips Cortex arrived within a few days of order and by far was the best price arround. Product arrived in perfect condition and worked as described. Great deal. Order #10984

Very Quick and easy Checkout..
