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.

Extended-Life Ball Joint Rod Ends
Seals keep out dirt and an oil-embedded foam insert slowly releases lubricant for a long life. You can remove the insert to add more oil if it starts to run dry. These rod ends have an eyelet and a ball that swivels to support angular misalignment. Made of zinc-plated steel, they have moderate corrosion resistance.

Corrosion-Resistant Ball Joint Rod Ends
Made of stainless steel, these rod ends provide excellent corrosion resistance. A PTFE liner allows smooth ball rotation and eliminates the need for lubrication.
Internally Threaded Corrosion-Resistant Ball Joint Rod Ends

Internally Threaded Chemical-Resistant Ball Joint Rod Ends
Made of impact-resistant nylon, these rod ends withstand corrosion as well as fuels, lyes, and weak acids. They are also 80% lighter than steel rod ends. A self-lubricating nylon ball provides maximum abrasion resistance and eliminates the need for lubrication.
