How much flex does this Johnny Joint offer?

This Johnny Joint rod end offers up to 30 degrees of unrestricted movement in any direction. This is more than the typical 22 degrees found in a standard heim joint, allowing for greater articulation in custom suspension setups.

How is this rod end lubricated?

The center ball is cross-drilled for internal lubrication. Additionally, this unit includes a 7/16 inch greasable bolt for external greasing via a standard zerk fitting, making maintenance straightforward.

What is the purpose of the urethane bushings?

The high-density urethane bushings encase the inner ball, providing cushioning that a standard heim joint cannot. This helps to absorb shock and reduce noise from metal-on-metal contact in your suspension.

About this part

Product Details

If you're building a custom suspension system, like a link arm or a control arm, you need a rod end that can handle serious articulation. The RockJock Johnny Joint is a popular choice for fabricators because it offers a lot more movement than a standard heim joint. This particular joint gives you up to 30 degrees of unrestricted movement in any direction, which is notable compared to the 22 degrees you typically get from a heim joint. That extra flex is crucial for keeping your tires planted on uneven terrain.

What sets the Johnny Joint apart is its internal construction. Instead of just a metal-on-metal ball, it uses high-density urethane bushings to cushion the inner ball. This not only absorbs some of the shock but also helps to prevent the kind of metal-on-metal noise you can get from a heim joint. The heat-treated center ball is cross-drilled, allowing for lubrication to reach the entire surface, and it's held in place by heavy-duty washers and a snap ring. This unit features a 2-inch diameter ball with a 0.4375-inch hole for your thru-bolt, a 2.25-inch shank with 3/4-inch right-hand threads, and it comes with a greasable bolt so you can easily service it with a grease gun.

This rod end is designed to be welded onto your custom suspension components. The gold zinc plating helps protect it from corrosion, and the greasable bolt makes maintenance straightforward. It's a well-built component that gives you the flexibility and durability needed for custom off-road builds.
