FAQ

What size threads do these rod ends have?

The rod ends feature a ¼‑28 right‑hand female thread, compatible with standard shafts and linkages that use this size.

Can I use these rod ends in high‑temperature environments?

Yes. The heat‑treated 1045 steel body maintains its strength up to 300 °C (572 °F), making it suitable for most automotive and industrial applications.

As long as the other brand uses the same ¼‑28 right‑hand female thread and similar dimensions, they can be interchanged, but we recommend using matching components for optimal performance.
