About Rod Ends

To reduce noise and vibration, these bolts have a rubber bushing—connect them to rods, pipes, tubes, and cable linkages that have female threading. They also make up for changes in alignment. Use them in hydraulic systems, steering pumps, control cables, vehicle suspensions, and pivot and hinge movements. They’re also known as isolated rod ends.
