About Rod Ends

Ball Joint Rod Ends
Made of steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. They don’t come lubricated, so you’ll need to lubricate during installation and on an ongoing basis.
Zinc-plated steel rod ends provide moderate corrosion resistance.

Lubrication-Free Ball Joint Rod Ends
A carbon fiber-reinforced insert or PTFE liner reduces wear, handles shock loads, and eliminates the need for lubrication. Made of steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. All are zinc plated, so they resist corrosion for a short time before the finish is consumed and the steel is exposed.

Oil-Embedded Ball Joint Rod Ends with Grease Fitting
An oil-embedded bronze insert slowly releases lubricant to the rod end. Relubrication is recommended but not required. Connect your grease gun to the fitting to relubricate. Made of zinc-plated steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends and offer moderate corrosion resistance.

Corrosion-Resistant Clevis Rod Ends
These clevis rod ends offer more corrosion resistance than standard steel clevis rod ends. Also called yoke-end linkages, they support pivoting movement along one axis when threaded onto shafts, rods, valve pistons, and other assemblies.
Stainless steel rod ends offer excellent corrosion resistance.
