Johnny Joint rod ends offer cushioning that a heim joint cannot provide via high-density urethane bushings that encase the inner ball. The heat treated center balls are cross-drilled for thru-bolt lubrication and the joint internals are retained with 2 heavy duty, heat treated side washers and a snap ring. This specific joint is a 2 1\/2 in. diameter, fitted with a zerk fitting for greasing, 2 1\/4 in. of 1 1\/4 in.-12 left hand threads on the shank, and a 2.625 in. mounting width ball with a .640 in. thru bolt hole.

With a 2.5-inch diameter, this joint provides 30 degrees of unrestricted movement in any direction, significantly more than the standard 22 degrees found in typical heim joints. This increased range allows for greater flexibility in suspension systems, improving handling and articulation. The joint features a 2.625-inch diameter ball with a .640-inch thru-bolt hole, ensuring a robust connection suitable for demanding environments. The 1 1\/4-inch-12 left-hand threaded shank facilitates secure attachment and adjustments, making it ideal for custom builds and heavy-duty use. Finished in durable gold zinc plating, the Johnny Joint resists corrosion to maintain performance over time. The inclusion of a zerk fitting allows for external greasing, ensuring smooth operation and extended service life. Its high-density urethane bushings provide cushioning that traditional heim joints cannot match, absorbing shocks and reducing wear on connected components. Internally, heat-treated, cross-drilled center balls are designed for effective lubrication via the thru-bolt, while heavy-duty side washers and a snap ring retain internal components securely. This component is manufactured by RockJock, known for producing high-quality suspension parts, and is suitable for automotive applications requiring reliable articulation and durability. The Johnny Joint's design and construction make it a preferred choice for off-road builds, race cars, and custom fabrication projects where superior movement and longevity are essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eUnrestricted movement: 30 degrees in any direction for enhanced suspension articulation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDurable construction: forged rod end with heat-treated internal components\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCorrosion resistant: finished in gold zinc plating for long-lasting protection\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eGreasing capability: includes zerk fitting for external lubrication\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-performance bushings: high-density urethane for cushioning and shock absorption\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSecure attachment: 1 1\/4 inch-12 left-hand threaded shank with robust mounting features\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eVersatile fit: 2.625 inch diameter ball with .640 inch thru-bolt hole for strong connection\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RockJock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53943404855612,"sku":"rokCE-9114L-28","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1865\/9007\/files\/0b57d487e29ca8d63d8ce3dbd0067159_9ce48604-769f-4a24-8a57-63cb5a28fd24.jpg?v=1785193937","url":"https:\/\/necycleshop.com\/products\/rockjock-johnny-joint-rod-end-2-1-2in-forged-2-625in-x-640in-ball-1-1-4in-12-lh-thread-shank","provider":"NE Cycle Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
