RockJock Johnny Joint Rod End 2in Narrow Forged 1in-14 RH Threads 1.600in x .510in Ball

RockJock is known for building tough suspension components for off-road vehicles. This Johnny Joint rod end is a popular choice for fabricators and anyone building custom suspension systems. It offers a significant advantage over standard heim joints, allowing for up to 40 degrees of movement in any direction, compared to the typical 22 degrees you get with a heim joint. This extra range of motion is crucial for maintaining tire contact on uneven terrain and reducing stress on your suspension components.

What sets the Johnny Joint apart is its design. Instead of just metal-on-metal contact like a heim joint, it uses high-density urethane bushings around the inner ball. This provides a cushioning effect that a heim joint simply can't match, absorbing some of the road shock. The center ball itself is heat-treated and cross-drilled, which is a smart detail for easy lubrication through the included zerk fitting. The joint is held together with heavy-duty, heat-treated side washers and a snap ring, ensuring it stays put. This particular joint has a narrow 2-inch body, 1-inch-14 right-hand threads on the shank for a good amount of adjustment, and a 1.600-inch mounting width with a 0.510-inch bolt hole.

This rod end comes finished in a gold zinc plating for corrosion resistance. It's a well-built component designed for those who need serious articulation and durability in their custom suspension setups.
