RockJock Johnny Joint Rod End 2in Narrow Forged 2.445in X .515in Ball 3/4in-16 RH Thread Shank

RockJock is a well-known name for folks building custom suspension systems, and their Johnny Joint rod ends are a big reason why. If you're fabricating control arms, track bars, or other suspension links, this joint gives you a lot more freedom than a standard heim joint. It allows for a full 40 degrees of movement in any direction, which is almost double what you'd get from a typical heim joint. Plus, the high-density urethane bushing around the inner ball helps absorb road vibrations, giving you a more comfortable ride than you'd expect from a joint this robust.

This particular joint is a narrow, forged version, measuring 2 inches in diameter. The center ball is heat-treated and cross-drilled so you can easily lubricate it through the zerk fitting. It's retained by two heavy-duty washers and a snap ring. The shank has 2.445 inches of 3/4-inch by 16 right-hand threads, giving you plenty of adjustment for setting up your suspension geometry. The mounting width for the ball is 2.445 inches, and it accepts a 0.515-inch thru bolt. It's finished in a gold zinc plating to help resist corrosion.
