QA1's EX Series Endura carbon steel male rod end is an economical alternative to chromoly with a completely self-sealing and self-lubricating design. An injection molded Nylon/PTFE race resists pounding out and keeps dirt and debris away from the ball for consistent performance, while increased cross-sectional thickness adds tensile strength and metal-to-metal support for heavy shock loads. The ball is 52100 bearing steel that is heat treated, hard chrome plated, and precision ground, and the carbon steel body is protective coated for corrosion resistance. This model has a 5/8" bore with right hand 5/8-18 threads in a male configuration.
