RockJock Johnny Joint Rod End 2 1/2in Forged 2.365in X .562in Ball 1in-14 RH Thread Ext. Greased

RockJock is known for building tough suspension components for off-road vehicles. This Johnny Joint rod end is a prime example, designed for fabricators and builders who need serious articulation. It offers a full 40 degrees of unrestricted movement in any direction, which is a lot more than a standard heim joint can handle. That extra range of motion is key for keeping your tires planted on uneven terrain.

What sets this joint apart is the way it's built. It uses high-density urethane bushings around the heat-treated center ball, which helps cushion the ride in a way a heim joint can't. The center ball itself is cross-drilled so you can easily lubricate it with the included zerk fitting, ensuring it stays well-greased. It’s retained by two heavy-duty, heat-treated washers and a snap ring, making it a solid assembly. This particular joint has a 2 1/2 inch forged body, a 2.365 inch ball width, and a 0.562 inch hole for the thru-bolt, with 2 1/4 inches of 1 inch-14 right-hand threads on the shank.

The gold zinc plating gives it a nice finish and helps resist corrosion. If you're building a custom suspension system and need a rod end that can handle extreme angles and provide a bit of cushioning, this is a well-built option.
