Unique-Bargains M8 Female Thread U Fork Gas Spring Rod End
A metal M8 female-thread U-fork gas-spring rod end measuring 38 x 16 x 16 mm and weighing 34 g
- M8 female thread fits standard gas spring rods
- U-fork design with 8 mm holes secures ball studs
- Compact 38 x 16 x 16 mm body saves space
- Metal construction in brass tone resists corrosion
- Lightweight 34 g component eases installation
Replacement Rod End
This M8 female-thread U-fork rod end replaces a worn gas-spring fitting on tool-box lids, truck caps or workshop hatches. The brass-tone metal body fits the original mounting points without modification. It is intended for DIY maintainers and light-commercial repair jobs where a direct swap is required.
Packaged As Single Unit
The box contains one rod end only; no bolts, clips or lubricant are supplied. Installers must reuse existing fasteners or source M8 hardware separately. This keeps the purchase focused on the exact replacement piece without surplus parts.
Load-Bearing Limits
The 38 mm overall length, 16 mm width and 8 mm fork holes match many standard struts, while the 34 g weight shows a compact steel construction. It handles typical lift-assist duties on panels and doors but is not rated for heavy industrial hatches or continuous high-cycle pneumatic systems.

Questions about this item
Will the M8 female thread or the 8 mm U-fork hole wear out first and need replacement?
Both the M8 female thread and the 8 mm U-fork hole are machined metal surfaces; under normal loads they wear at similar rates, so neither is expected to require replacement before the other.
What mechanical limit is reached first when the rod end is cycled continuously under load?
The 38 mm overall length and 16 mm width define the stroke envelope; the U-fork geometry reaches its angular limit before the M8 thread strips.
Does the 34 g metal body get hot or make noise during all-day operation?
The solid metal construction has no moving internals, so it runs silently and stays at ambient temperature regardless of duty cycle.
