RockJock Johnny Joint Rod End 2 1/2in Weld-On 2.625in X .562in Ball Int. Greased

If you're building a custom suspension system or fabricating your own control arms, this weld-on Johnny Joint rod end from RockJock is a solid choice. It gives you a full 30 degrees of unrestricted movement in any direction, which is notably more than you'd get from a standard heim joint. This extra articulation is key for allowing your suspension to articulate freely over rough terrain without binding.

What sets the Johnny Joint apart is its internal design. Instead of just a metal-on-metal connection, it uses high-density urethane bushings to cushion the inner ball. This not only absorbs some of the road shock but also helps to prevent the harshness you might feel with a heim joint. The heat-treated center ball is cross-drilled for easy lubrication, and the joint is secured with heavy-duty washers and a snap ring. The outer shell is made from .180-inch wall DOM tubing, ready for you to weld onto your fabrication project. This particular joint has a 2 1/2-inch outer diameter, a 2.625-inch mounting width, and a .5625-inch hole for the thru-bolt. A greasable Grade 8 bolt, nut, and washers are included to get you started.
