QA1 XM Series male rod ends are chromoly steel rod ends built for high-load applications such as 4-link and ladder bar suspensions. The injection-molded race keeps dirt and debris out and is self-sealing and self-lubricating for long service life. The ball is 52100 bearing steel that is heat treated, hard chrome plated and precision ground, while the body is heat treated chromoly steel with a protective coating for corrosion resistance. Metal-to-metal support handles heavy shock loads and the added cross-sectional thickness increases tensile strength.
