QA1 Precision Products Endura Series Aluminum Rod End Thread

QA1 Endura Series aluminum rod ends are lightweight spherical rod end bearings (heim joints) for performance suspension, steering linkage and tie rod applications. They are built for racing and high-performance use. Each rod end has an aircraft-grade aluminum body and a precision-ground steel ball. The self-lubricating race helps keep dirt and debris out.

Key Features:

• Lightweight aluminum construction: QA1 states that its aluminum Endura rod ends are over 10% lighter than traditional three-piece aluminum rod ends.
• Self-lubricating, self-sealing race: The Nylon/PTFE injection-molded race needs no maintenance. It is designed to keep dirt, sand and grit out.
• Hardened steel ball: The ball is precision-ground, heat-treated bearing steel with a hard chrome plating.
• Strength under shock loads: The design offers metal-to-metal support for heavy shock loads. The body has a thicker cross-section for greater tensile strength.
• Anodized finish: The aluminum body is color anodized for corrosion resistance and appearance.
• Configurations: The line includes male and female rod ends, right- and left-hand threads, and stud and non-stud versions, so you can match the part to your linkage.

QA1 recommends Endura rod ends for most performance racing applications. They suit tie rods, control arms, pull bars, linkages and other precision suspension and steering connections where low weight and durability matter. Choose the individual part number that matches your required bore, thread and gender.
