Rod End - 1/4in x 1/4in LH Steel - Female

The Rod End - 1/4in x 1/4in LH Steel - Female from QA1 is an essential spherical bearing component designed for serious suspension builders, fabricators, and performance mechanics who demand precision in their vehicle modifications. Rod ends are critical pivot points in custom suspension systems, allowing controlled articulation while maintaining structural integrity under load. Whether you're constructing a high-performance street rod, a competition race car, or upgrading a truck's suspension geometry, this left-hand female threaded rod end provides the reliable connection point your project demands.

This QA1 rod end features a 1/4-inch bore with matching 1/4-28 left-hand female thread specifications, making it compatible with standard 1/4-inch chromoly or steel pushrods and tie rods common in suspension builds. The spherical design allows multi-directional movement while the steel construction with zinc oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and durability in both street and track environments. The compact 1 x 0.7 x 3.1-inch dimensions make it ideal for tight packaging scenarios where space is limited, while the lightweight 0.06-pound profile ensures minimal suspension mass penalty—critical for maintaining unsprung weight targets on performance vehicles.

Mechanics and fabricators working on double-wishbone conversions, adjustable control arm systems, or custom tie-rod linkages will find this left-hand female rod end indispensable for creating proper geometry and articulation. The left-hand thread specification is crucial for specific suspension configurations where directional adjustment and safety-wire compatibility are required. Installation involves threading this rod end onto a corresponding left-hand male stud or rod, then securing it with appropriate jam nuts to maintain alignment under suspension cycles. Quality rod ends like the QA1 CFL4 are non-negotiable components—inferior bearings will develop slop, introduce binding, and compromise your suspension's handling characteristics and component longevity.
