Corrosion-Resistant Swivel Joints
 | |
Ball is heat treated for strength. Also known as spherical bearings, they support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit. They don't come lubricated, so you'll need to lubricate during installation and on an ongoing basis.
303 Stainless Steel—Stronger than plastic models, these stainless steel swivel joints are also more corrosion resistant than steel joints.

Lubrication-Free Corrosion-Resistant Swivel Joints
 | |
A slippery PTFE liner reduces wear and eliminates the need for lubrication. Also known as spherical bearings, they support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit.
303 Stainless Steel—Made of stainless steel, these swivel joints are stronger than plastic models and more corrosion resistant than steel ones.

Lightweight Swivel Joints
 | |
Also known as spherical bearings, they support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit.
Nylon—These nylon swivel joints are 80% lighter than steel swivel joints with better corrosion resistance.
