Rod End Male LH 7/16-20 High Mis PTFE

The Rod End Male LH 7/16-20 High Mis PTFE is a precision spherical bearing assembly engineered for vehicles requiring articulated suspension geometry, steering linkage, or custom performance suspension setups. Designed by AURORA, a trusted manufacturer of rod end components, this left-hand male thread rod end accommodates the precise angular misalignment common in lowered, modified, or race-oriented chassis. Whether you're fabricating a custom A-arm, adjustable tie rod, or control arm assembly, this spherical bearing provides the movement tolerance and durability needed to maintain alignment as your suspension cycles through compression and extension.

This rod end features a 7/16-inch bore with a 1/2-20 left-hand male thread, allowing it to thread directly into control arms, chassis brackets, or link assemblies. The high misalignment design accommodates angular loads up to maximum deflection angles, critical when dealing with extreme suspension geometry or drift car setups where stock suspension geometry is completely reimagined. PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) line the spherical bearing surface, reducing friction and wear while maintaining smooth articulation under load. The steel construction with cadmium plating ensures corrosion resistance and longevity in harsh underbody environments, protecting your suspension investment whether you're building a street machine or track platform.

This rod end benefits fabricators, suspension engineers, and performance enthusiasts building custom or heavily modified independent suspension systems where factory geometry no longer applies. Its compact footprint (1 x 1 x 3 inches) and lightweight design (0.24 lbs) make it ideal for weight-conscious builds while maintaining structural rigidity. Installation requires threading directly into a 1/2-20 female bore; ensure your control arm or bracket bore is properly tapped to spec and that all fasteners are torqued according to your suspension designer's recommendations. Compatible with any suspension setup utilizing standard rod end geometry—from drag racing vehicles to road course builds.
