Product Details

The QA1 KML8-10S is a high-strength 3-piece male rod end engineered for demanding steering and suspension linkage applications in motorsport, custom builds, and performance vehicles. Featuring a carbon steel body and a replaceable spherical bearing insert, this rod end delivers precise, low-friction articulation under heavy load conditions.

QA1's 3-piece construction uses a separate race and ball, allowing the spherical insert to be replaced independently when worn — extending the service life of the housing and reducing long-term maintenance costs. The male shank uses a 5/8"-18 left-hand thread for easy toe adjustment and secure installation in rod end threaded bungs and adjustment sleeves.

Key Features:

  • 3-piece construction for replaceable spherical bearing insert
  • Carbon steel body for high strength and durability
  • 1/2" bore accepts standard 1/2" pivot hardware
  • 5/8"-18 left-hand (LH) male thread shank for steering linkage integration
  • Designed for high-misalignment steering, suspension, and linkage applications
  • Manufactured by QA1 Precision Products, a trusted name in performance suspension components

The QA1 KML8-10S is ideal for race cars, street rods, circle track builds, and any application requiring a reliable, rebuildable rod end with precise articulation. Always pair with a matching right-hand thread rod end on adjustable tie rod assemblies to allow proper toe adjustment.
