Bore 0.7500 / 3/4-16 ThreadXMR12-C XML12-C 0.7500 3/4-16 Chromoly Steel Extended Shank Male Rod End
XM C Extended-Shank Chromoly Steel Rod Ends Product Overview
XMR12-C / XML12-C features a 0.7500″ bore (B) and 1.750″ body diameter (D), with a 1.312″ precision-ground 52100 steel ball running in a reinforced nylon/PTFE race. Overall body length (AM) is 5.04″, with an extended shank engagement depth (D) of 3.94″. Width (W) is 0.875″ and body thickness (T) is 0.687″. Approximate weight: 0.835 lbs.
Designed with an extra-long shank for deeper tie-rod thread engagement, this rod end with a 3/4-16 UNF 3A external thread accommodates ±14° misalignment and suits truck steering, maximum-load suspension, and extreme-duty assemblies requiring deep thread engagement. The 4130 chromoly steel body is heat treated and hard chrome plated for superior strength-to-weight ratio; the reinforced nylon/PTFE race is self-lubricating and self-sealing, requiring no maintenance.
Available in right-hand (XMR12-C) and left-hand (XML12-C) thread configurations. The extended shank (C designation) provides additional engagement depth compared to standard JMX rod ends, making it ideal for replacement applications where increased thread depth is required. Body is 4130 chromoly steel, heat treated and hard chrome plated.

XM C Extended-Shank Chromoly Steel Rod Ends Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the XM-C series different from standard XM rod ends?
The XM-C series uses an extra-long stem layout that gives more thread engagement and adjustment length than a standard XM rod end, while keeping the same heavy-duty chromoly construction direction.
What materials are used in the XM-C series?
XM-C rod ends use a hard-chrome-plated 52100 bearing steel ball, an injection-molded reinforced nylon race with PTFE, and a 4130 chromoly steel body that is heat treated and hard chrome plated.
What applications are best suited to XM-C rod ends?
XM-C rod ends are well suited to custom suspension links, steering systems, agricultural control arms, fabricated chassis assemblies, and industrial motion links that benefit from extra stem length and stronger chromoly construction.
Why choose an extended shank rod end?
An extended shank design gives more usable thread engagement and more installed length flexibility, which is helpful when builders need geometry correction, stronger adjustment range, or deeper threaded support in a linkage.
Is the XM-C series self-lubricating?
Yes. The series uses an injection-molded reinforced nylon race with PTFE, giving a self-lubricating and self-sealing construction suitable for repeated articulation.
Can XM-C rod ends be used in heavy-duty custom builds?
Yes. XM-C rod ends are intended for heavier-duty custom and industrial linkage use where long-stem geometry, chromoly strength, and dependable articulation are required together.
