Rod End - 5/16in x 5/16 24 RH Steel - Male

The Rod End - 5/16in x 5/16 24 RH Steel - Male is a precision-engineered fastening component designed for mechanical linkages, suspension systems, and industrial applications requiring reliable articulation. Manufactured by QA1, a trusted name in high-performance automotive and motorsports hardware, this rod end serves as a critical connection point where rigid components must pivot or articulate smoothly under load. Whether you're building or repairing suspension geometry, steering linkages, or control arm assemblies, this male rod end delivers the durability and precision fit that professionals demand.

This rod end features a 5/16-inch bore diameter with a 5/16-24 right-hand (RH) threaded stud, machined from steel for superior strength and load-carrying capacity. The male configuration means the threaded stud extends outward, allowing direct threaded engagement into female rod ends, clevises, or threaded bores without additional hardware. Steel construction provides excellent fatigue resistance and reliability in high-vibration environments, making it ideal for race applications, heavy-duty suspension work, and demanding mechanical systems where joint integrity is non-negotiable. The right-hand thread ensures standard, predictable installation and prevents accidental loosening during operation.

Technicians, fabricators, and suspension specialists choose this QA1 rod end for OEM-equivalent performance in aftermarket builds, restoration projects, and high-performance upgrades. Its compact 3 x 0.45 x 3.85-inch envelope fits tight packaging scenarios, while the lightweight 0.07-pound design minimizes unsprung mass in suspension applications. Verify bore diameter and thread pitch compatibility with your female rod end or mounting boss before installation; the 5/16-24 RH stud requires corresponding female threads or a complementary rod end with matching specifications. This fastener integrates seamlessly into custom suspension geometry, steering systems, and control linkages across automotive, motorsports, and industrial platforms.
