QA1 Precision Products Endura Series Rod End with Thread

The QA1 Endura Series rod end (also called a heim joint, spherical rod end or rod end bearing) is built for suspension, steering linkage and chassis applications in motorsports and performance use. It has a threaded shank so you can adjust length and alignment. Typical uses include 4-link bars, ladder bars, trailing arms, panhard bars and tie rod or steering links.

Key Features:

• Self-lubricating, self-sealing race: A Nylon/PTFE injection-molded race helps keep dirt and debris out. It also gives smooth operation without constant maintenance.
• Precision ball: The ball is 52100 bearing steel. It is heat treated, hard chrome plated and precision ground.
• Strong, corrosion-resistant bodies: Depending on the series, bodies are made from heat-treated chromoly or alloy steel with a protective coating, or from lightweight aircraft aluminum.
• Metal-to-metal support: This design handles heavy shock loads.
• Greater tensile strength: The increased cross-sectional thickness adds strength.
• Loaded-slot construction: The ball is inserted into a machined groove inside the body, and the race material is then injected around it for a precise, durable fit.

QA1 Endura rod ends are made to precise tolerances for racers and enthusiasts who want reliable, long-lasting hardware. Steel versions are well suited to heavy-duty use. Aluminum versions save weight in performance builds.
