RockJock Johnny Joint Rod End 2 1/2in Forged 2.365in X .484in Ball 1in-14 LH Thread Shank

This is a RockJock Johnny Joint rod end, a key component for fabricators and builders creating custom suspension systems. It's designed to offer a significant range of motion, allowing for up to 30 degrees of unrestricted movement in any direction. This is notably more than what you'd get from a standard heim joint, which typically tops out around 22 degrees. The Johnny Joint uses high-density urethane bushings around its heat-treated center ball to provide a cushioning effect that heim joints can't match.

The center ball is cross-drilled to allow for lubrication through the bolt, and the internal components are secured by two heavy-duty, heat-treated washers and a snap ring. This particular joint features a 2 1/2 inch diameter ball, a 2 1/4 inch shank with 1 inch-14 left-hand threads, and a mounting width of 2.365 inches with a 0.484 inch thru-bolt hole. It also comes with a zerk fitting for external greasing, making maintenance straightforward. The gold zinc plating gives it a durable finish.
