QA1 CML6-8SZ C Series 2-Piece Carbon Steel Rod End 3/8in Bore 1/2-20 LH Male Thread with Zerk Fitting

The QA1 CML6-8SZ is a C Series two-piece carbon steel rod end featuring a 3/8-inch bore, 1/2-20 left-hand male thread, and an integrated zerk grease fitting for easy lubrication and extended service life. Part of QA1's popular CM Carbon Steel Series, this rod end is engineered for performance and durability in racing, suspension, and industrial linkage applications.

Key Features:

• 2-piece carbon steel construction — metal-to-metal design for maximum strength and direct load transfer
• 52100 bearing steel ball — heat-treated and hard chrome plated for wear resistance and long service life
• Zinc-plated housing — protective coating provides corrosion resistance
• Zerk (grease) fitting included — allows routine lubrication to maintain smooth articulation and reduce wear
• 3/8-inch head bore — accepts standard 3/8-inch mounting hardware
• 1/2-20 left-hand male thread — for use in left-hand threaded tie rod tubes and linkage assemblies
• 22-degree misalignment angle — accommodates angular movement in dynamic suspension and steering applications
• Follows SAE Specification J1120 for dimensional standards
• Sold individually

The QA1 C Series rod ends — also known as heim joints or spherical rod ends — are a go-to solution for circle track racing, drag racing, street performance builds, and custom fabrication. The CML6-8SZ's left-hand thread makes it ideal for use on the driver-side of adjustable tie rod or suspension linkage assemblies where a right-hand/left-hand thread combination is required for length adjustment without disassembly.
