    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.
    Oversized Shank—Rod ends with an oversized shank have a shank that is one size larger than the ID to handle greater stress.
    Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel—Zinc-plated steel rod ends provide moderate corrosion resistance.

    These steel rod ends handle loads that are at least 25% higher than other comparably sized rod ends. PTFE allows smooth rotation and eliminates the need for lubrication.
    Oversized Shank—Rod ends with an oversized shank have a shank that is one size larger than the ID to handle greater stress.
    Nylon/PTFE Insert—Rod ends with Nylon/PTFE insert have a durable, self-sealing insert that reduces wear.
    Zinc-Plated Alloy Steel Insert—Rod ends with zinc-plated steel insert provide moderate corrosion resistance.

    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.
