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

Internally Threaded 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.

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.

High-Load Ball Joint Rod Ends
Rod ends with an oversized shank have a shank that is one size larger than the ID to handle greater stress.
Rod ends with Nylon/PTFE insert have a durable, self-sealing insert that reduces wear. Rod ends with zinc-plated steel insert provide moderate corrosion resistance.
