QA1's EX Series Endura rod ends are an economical carbon steel alternative to chromoly, built as loader slot rod ends with increased cross-sectional thickness for greater tensile strength. A Nylon/PTFE injection molded race makes the rod end self-sealing and self-lubricating, resisting pound-out and keeping dirt and debris out for consistent performance. Metal-to-metal support handles heavy shock loads.
