About Rod Ends

Made of steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends.

Zinc-plated steel rod ends provide moderate corrosion resistance.

Internally Threaded Lubrication-Free Ball Joint Rod Ends

A PTFE-embedded 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.
