The QA1 AM Series aluminum rod end is a male rod end designed to save weight on performance suspension and chassis applications. It is more than 10 percent lighter than traditional three-piece aluminum rod ends and ranks among the most wear-resistant aluminum designs QA1 offers. The self-lubricating, self-sealing injection-molded race helps keep dirt and debris out, while the 52100 bearing steel ball is heat treated, hard chrome plated, and precision ground. The aircraft aluminum body carries a black finish, and the design adds metal-to-metal support for heavy shock loads plus increased cross-sectional thickness for greater tensile strength.
