RockJock Johnny Joint Rod End 2 1/2in Forged 2.812in X .750in Ball 1in-14 RH Thread Shank

RockJock is a well-known name in the off-road world, specializing in robust suspension components for serious builds. This Johnny Joint rod end is a prime example of their focus on durability and performance for fabricators and suspension system builders. It's designed to give you a full 30 degrees of unrestricted movement in any direction, which is a notable improvement over the typical 22 degrees you'd get from a standard heim joint. This extra range of motion is crucial for allowing your suspension to articulate freely over rough terrain without binding.

What sets the Johnny Joint apart is its ability to provide cushioning that a heim joint simply can't match. This is thanks to the high-density urethane bushings that surround the heat-treated center ball. The ball itself is cross-drilled to allow for lubrication to reach the entire joint, and it's held in place by two heavy-duty, heat-treated side washers and a snap ring. This specific joint features a 2 1/2 inch diameter ball, a 2.812 inch mounting width, and a .750 inch thru-bolt hole. The shank has 2 1/4 inches of 1 inch-14 right-hand threads, and it comes with a zerk fitting for easy external greasing. The whole assembly is finished in a gold zinc plating for corrosion resistance.
