QA1 V Series 3-Pc Rod End - Male/Left Hand - 12mm Bore x M12x1.75 w/Stud - Carbon Steel

This is a QA1 V Series 3-piece rod end, specifically a male, left-hand threaded unit with a 12mm bore and an M12x1.75 stud. Rod ends are crucial components in suspension and steering systems, acting as pivot points that allow for controlled movement while maintaining structural integrity. This particular rod end is constructed from carbon steel, offering a solid foundation for its intended application.

The V Series from QA1 is designed for general-purpose use where a reliable and well-built rod end is needed. Its 3-piece construction typically means it has a separate ball and two halves for the housing, which can contribute to smoother operation and longer life compared to simpler 2-piece designs. The left-hand thread is a key feature, often used in applications where opposing threads are needed for adjustment or to prevent loosening under vibration.

When installing rod ends, it's important to ensure proper alignment and lubrication to maximize their lifespan and performance. This QA1 rod end is a popular choice for custom builds or replacement needs where a specific thread size and bore diameter are required.
