RockJock Johnny Joint Rod End 2 1/2in Weld-On 2.625in X .640in Ball Int. Greased

If you're building a custom suspension system, especially for off-road use where maximum articulation is key, you'll want a rod end that can handle serious movement. The RockJock Johnny Joint rod end is designed for fabricators who need more flex than a standard heim joint can offer. It gives you a full 30 degrees of unrestricted movement in any direction, which is a notable increase over the typical 22 degrees you get from a heim joint. This extra range helps keep your tires planted on uneven terrain.

What sets the Johnny Joint apart is its built-in cushioning. It uses high-density urethane bushings around the center ball, something a heim joint just can't do. This not only absorbs some of the shock but also helps reduce noise and vibration. The center ball itself is heat-treated and cross-drilled so you can grease it easily, ensuring smooth operation and longevity. It's held in place by heavy-duty, heat-treated washers and a snap ring, all housed within a weldable DOM tubing outer shell. This particular joint has a 2 1/2 inch outer diameter, a 2.625 inch mounting width, and a .640 inch hole for the thru-bolt. A greasable Grade 8 bolt with a nut and washers is included to get you started.
