RockJock Johnny Joint Rod End 2in Narrow Forged 1.750in X .500in Ball 3/4in-16 RH Thread Shank

RockJock is a well-known name for serious off-road and performance suspension parts. This Johnny Joint rod end is built for fabricators and builders who need a robust component for custom suspension systems. It offers a significant advantage over standard heim joints, allowing for up to 40 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 is crucial for maintaining tire contact and control over uneven terrain.

What sets the Johnny Joint apart is its internal construction. Instead of just a metal-on-metal ball, it features a high-density urethane bushing that encases the heat-treated center ball. This urethane provides a level of cushioning that a heim joint simply can't match, absorbing some of the road or trail shock. The center ball itself is cross-drilled to allow for lubrication through a zerk fitting, ensuring smooth operation and longevity. The joint is held together with heavy-duty, heat-treated side washers and a snap ring, all finished in a gold zinc plating for corrosion resistance.

This particular joint is a 2-inch diameter unit with a narrow body design. It has a 1.750-inch mounting width ball and a 0.500-inch hole for a thru-bolt. The shank features 2.25 inches of 3/4-inch by 16 right-hand threads, giving you plenty of material to work with when integrating it into your custom linkage or suspension arm. It's designed to be a solid component for anyone building a custom suspension setup where flexibility and durability are key.
