RockJock Johnny Joint Rod End 2in Narrow Forged 2in X .500in Ball 1in-14 RH Thread Shank

If you're building a custom suspension system or fabricating your own control arms, you need a rod end that can handle serious articulation. The RockJock Johnny Joint is designed for fabricators who need more movement than a standard heim joint can offer. It gives you a full 40 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 high-density urethane bushing that surrounds the inner ball. This provides a cushioning effect that a heim joint simply can't match, while still offering solid control. The center ball is heat-treated and cross-drilled so you can easily lubricate it through the included zerk fitting. It's held in place by two heavy-duty, heat-treated side washers and a snap ring for a secure assembly. This particular joint has a 2-inch mounting width, a 1-inch-14 right-hand thread on the shank for a 2.25-inch thread length, and a 0.500-inch hole for the thru-bolt.

This joint is finished in a gold zinc plating for corrosion resistance. It's a well-built component that's popular with builders looking for a robust and flexible suspension joint.
