QA1 Precision Products 3-Piece Carbon Fiber Rod End

The QA1 Precision Products 3-Piece Carbon Rod End (also called a heim joint or rod end bearing) is a traditional three-piece, carbon steel female rod end from QA1's K Series. It is built for suspension, steering linkage, and chassis applications that need precise, low-slop articulation. QA1 makes it in inch dimensions with right-hand or left-hand threads.

Key Features:

• Precision design: A higher ball-to-race conformity gives tighter tolerances. That suits applications where tight tolerances are critical.
• Built for high loads: The design is intended for high-load use.
• Ball: 52100 bearing steel. It is heat treated, precision ground, and hard chrome plated.
• Race: Heat-treated alloy (chromoly) steel.
• Body: Carbon steel (alloy steel at the manufacturer's option) with a protective coating for corrosion resistance.
• Configuration options: Grease fitting and stud configurations are available within the K Series.

QA1 engineers performance suspension components for muscle cars, classic trucks, and race cars. These rod ends give you a durable, precisely fitted pivot point for custom links, control arms, and steering and suspension builds.
