RockJock Johnny Joint Rod End 2in Narrow Forged 7/8in-14 LH Threads 2.115in x .490in Ball

If you're building a custom suspension system or fabricating control arms for serious off-road articulation, a Johnny Joint rod end is a solid choice. This particular joint from RockJock is designed for fabricators who need a lot of movement. Unlike a standard heim joint, which typically offers around 22 degrees of movement, this Johnny Joint can flex up to 40 degrees in any direction. That kind of range is crucial for keeping your tires planted on uneven terrain.

What sets the Johnny Joint apart is its construction. It uses high-density urethane bushings around the heat-treated center ball, which not only allows for that impressive range of motion but also provides some cushioning that a heim joint can't match. The center ball is cross-drilled so you can easily lubricate it through the zerk fitting, and it's held in place by heavy-duty washers and a snap ring. This narrow version has a 2-inch body, a 7/8-inch-14 left-hand thread shank that's 2.3 inches long, and a ball width of 2.115 inches with a 0.490-inch bolt hole. It's finished in gold zinc plating for a clean look.
