Aluminum rod ends have increased cross sectional thickness for greater tensile strength. Self lubricating, self-sealing Teflon/Kevlar bearing races are used.
QA1's two-piece "CM" Series rod ends use a 52100 bearing steel ball that has been hard chrome plated and heat treated. The carbon steel body has been ground and protective coated for corrosion.
Durable, cost effective, "EM"/"EF" rod ends are a two-piece design. Hard chrome plated, heat treated ball is manufactured from 52100 bearing steel, and the mild steel body has been precisely ground and protective coated for corrosion resistance.
Exclusive, "EXM" male rod ends use a self-lubricating liner that won't pound out. Rod ends combine a heat treated, hard chrome plated 52100 bearing steel ball, Teflon/Kevlar race and carbon steel body.
Engineered for metal-to-metal contact, Mono Ball Bearings are often used to replace OEM-style ball joints for smoother suspension movement. Bearings consist of hard chrome plated 52100 bearing steel balls and chrome moly steel races.
The ultimate rod end for performance needs. Chrome moly steel, heat-treated body is black oxide coated and delivers the highest load rating of any 2-piece rod end. Balls are made from 52100 bearing steel, precision ground, heat treated and hard chrome plated.
Identical in construction to the "PCM" series with the addition of a high misalignment design.
Two-piece rod ends feature balls and bodies which have been heat treated. "XM" Series rod ends also feature an increased cross-sectional area for greater tensile strength.
