Product Details

QA1 Precision Products carbon steel rod end bearings (also called heim joints or spherical rod ends) are a durable, economical pivot joint for suspension links, steering linkages, and other chassis and commercial uses. They use a traditional two-piece design. The hard-wearing ball sits in a protective-coated carbon steel body.

Key Features:

  • Two-piece construction: a traditional design that is simple and economical.
  • Ball: 52100 bearing steel that is heat treated, precision ground, and hard chrome plated. It moves freely with very low friction.
  • Body: carbon steel with a protective coating for corrosion resistance.
  • Threads: available with right-hand or left-hand threads.
  • Mounting options: available in male or female thread styles, and some versions have a pre-attached stud.
  • Lubrication: metal-to-metal styles need periodic lubrication. QA1 also offers PTFE-lined versions in its wider rod end range.

Made by QA1 Precision Products, these rod ends are a cost-effective choice for builders and racers who want reliable, repeatable articulation. They suit light-duty commercial uses as well as automotive projects.
