RockJock Johnny Joint Rod End 2 1/2in Forged 2.365in X .562in Ball 1 1/4in-12 LH Thread Shank

RockJock is known for building tough suspension components for off-road vehicles. This Johnny Joint rod end is a popular choice for fabricators and builders looking to create custom suspension systems. It offers a significant advantage over standard heim joints, allowing for up to 30 degrees of unrestricted movement in any direction, compared to the typical 22 degrees you'd find on a heim joint. This extra range of motion can be crucial for maintaining tire contact on uneven terrain and reducing stress on your suspension links.

What sets the Johnny Joint apart is its internal design. Instead of just a metal-on-metal ball, it uses high-density urethane bushings to encase the inner ball, providing a degree of cushioning that a simple heim joint can't match. The heat-treated center ball is cross-drilled, which allows for lubrication to reach the entire joint surface through the included zerk fitting. This joint is built to last, with heavy-duty, heat-treated side washers and a snap ring holding everything securely in place. This particular unit features a 2 1/2 inch diameter body, a 2.365 inch mounting width ball, and a 1 1/4 inch-12 left-hand threaded shank for your custom fabrication needs. The thru-bolt hole measures .562 inches.

This rod end comes finished in a gold zinc plating for corrosion resistance. Remember, this part is sold individually and does not include the bolt for installation; you'll need to source that separately based on your specific application.
