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

The Rod End - 1/4in x 1/4in RH Steel - Female by QA1 is a precision spherical bearing designed for custom suspension geometry and linkage systems in performance and racing vehicles. This component serves as a critical pivot point in control arms, tie rods, and adjustable suspension links where controlled articulation and minimal deflection are essential. Whether you're building a competition chassis, upgrading factory suspension geometry, or designing a custom fabrication project, this female rod end provides the repeatable, low-friction joint needed for predictable handling and adjustability.

Constructed from hardened steel with right-hand threads, this rod end features a 1/4-inch stud diameter and 1/4-inch threaded bore, enabling installation into 1/4-inch fastening points throughout your suspension assembly. The female design accepts a ball stud, allowing quick disconnection for adjustment, maintenance, or geometry tuning without full component removal. QA1's manufacturing standards ensure consistent preload characteristics and radial play control, which directly impact suspension compliance, tire contact patch consistency, and overall vehicle stability during cornering and load transfer.

This rod end is ideal for fabricators, suspension tuners, and motorsport builders working with independent suspension systems, drag racing chassis, circle track cars, and street performance builds requiring adjustable geometry. Its compact profile—measuring just 0.8 x 0.75 x 3.15 inches and weighing only 0.06 pounds—makes it suitable for space-constrained mounting locations while maintaining the load capacity necessary for high-G driving. Pair this female rod end with compatible QA1 ball studs and supporting links to complete your custom suspension calibration.
