    Image of Attribute. Front orientation. Contains Annotated, MultipleImages. Mil. Spec. Ball Joint Rod Ends.
    Made of cadmium-plated steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. They provide moderate corrosion resistance. All have a PTFE liner that allows smooth ball rotation and eliminates the need for lubrication. Liner meets SAE AS81820.
    Oversized Shank—Rod ends with an oversized shank have a shank that is one size larger than the ID to handle greater stress.

    Image of Attribute. Front orientation. Contains Annotated, MultipleImages. High-Speed Ball Bearing Rod Ends.
    A double row of precision ball bearings allows high speeds and smooth operation. Rod ends are made of cadmium- or zinc-plated steel, which both offer moderate corrosion resistance. Seals keep lubricant in and dirt out.
    Oversized Shank—Rod ends with an oversized shank have a shank that is one size larger than the ID to handle greater stress.
    Cadmium-Plated Alloy Steel—Cadmium-plated steel rod ends have lubricant that meets MIL-PRF-81322. They won’t require ongoing lubrication.
