About Rod Ends

Able to stand up to frequent use, these linkages offer excellent wear resistance. They consist of ball joint rod ends with a ball stud attached to simplify mounting. The stud is machined to fit perfectly inside its housing and swivel in all directions—good for clutches, throttles, and shift control rods. Periodic lubrication may be required to keep them operating smoothly.
