Rod End - 5/16in x 5/16 24 RH Aluminum - Female

The QA1 AFR5 rod end — 5/16-inch x 5/16-24 right-hand aluminum female — is a precision suspension component designed for custom vehicle builds and high-performance steering or suspension linkage applications. Rod ends serve as critical pivot points that connect control arms and steering components, allowing controlled articulation under load.

Constructed from aluminum, this model is favored by builders working on lightweight platforms, as it reduces unsprung mass, thereby improving handling response and ride quality. The AFR5 features a 5/16-inch bore to accept a matching stud or ball joint, with a 5/16-24 right-hand threaded body for secure installation into control arm mounting points.

Ideal for builders customizing independent front suspensions, this rod end is designed to ensure precise steering response and controlled suspension movement. It simplifies the assembly process during suspension geometry tuning by allowing direct threading onto precision-turned studs or installation into pre-drilled mounting bosses.
