What is the thread direction on this rod end?

This is a left-hand threaded rod end. This means it tightens when turned counter-clockwise, which is opposite to standard right-hand threads. Ensure you install it correctly for proper operation.

What material is this rod end made from?

This QA1 rod end is constructed from carbon steel. This material provides good strength for suspension components and is a cost-effective choice for many applications.

What does the 'stud' on this rod end refer to?

The 'stud' refers to an integrated threaded post that extends from the rod end body. This stud can simplify installation by providing a direct mounting point for certain linkage designs, potentially eliminating the need for separate bolts or adapters.

Product Details

This is a QA1 N Series rod end, specifically a male, left-hand threaded unit with a 1/2-20 thread size and a 0.5-inch bore. It's constructed from carbon steel, which offers a good balance of strength and cost-effectiveness for many suspension applications. Rod ends like this are crucial for connecting moving suspension components, allowing for controlled articulation and precise steering input. The injection-molded design helps to keep contaminants out and retain lubrication, contributing to a longer service life compared to some other designs.

The left-hand thread means it tightens in the opposite direction of a standard right-hand thread, which is important to consider during installation to ensure proper function and prevent loosening under load. This particular rod end features a stud, simplifying its integration into certain linkage setups. Its carbon steel build makes it a solid option for general-purpose suspension work where robust performance is needed without the added cost of more exotic materials.
