RockJock 4x4 Johnny Joint Rod End 2 1/2 Inch Narrow Forged Long Shank 1 1/4 Inch-12 RH Threads 2.625 Inch x .640 Inch Ball - RJ-335400-102
RockJock's narrow forged Johnny Joints for fabricators and suspension system builders offer 40 degrees of unrestricted movement in any direction as compared to 22 degrees on a common heim joint! Johnny Joint rod ends offer cushioning that a heim joint cannot provide via high-density urethane bushing that encases 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 inch diameter, narrow body and features a 9 1/2 inch long shank, from CL of joint to end of tip of threads), 3 1/2 inch of 1 1/4 inch-12 RH threads and a 2.625 inch wide x .640 inch thru-hole center pivot ball.
Additional features of the long shank design include the the jam nut being pushed outward, away from the bracket that the joint mounts in to provide more clearance and accessibility to the jam nut.
Also, the smooth shank area of the joint may have a bend applied to it in a press to angle the joint for a perfect fit in your application or to gain clearance in tight spots. Joint is externally greasable via a zerk fitting. Finish is gold zinc plating.
