Aurora High Misalignment Rod End Bearing Bore Thread

Aurora High Misalignment Rod End Bearings are precision male rod ends. They are also called heim joints or spherical rod ends. They suit suspension linkages, steering linkages, control arms, and other motorsport and performance uses. The head has a necked ball. This lets the joint swing through a greater angle than a standard rod end before the ball contacts the housing. The shank is also larger than the ball bore.

Key Features:

• High misalignment design: The necked ball allows more angular movement than a conventional rod end.
• Self-lubricating PTFE liner: Many designs use a PTFE-lined race. It gives smooth, low-friction movement and does not need regreasing.
• Alloy steel construction: The ball, race and housing are heat-treated alloy steel. This gives high strength and good load capacity.
• Protective finish: A plated or coated finish helps resist corrosion.
• Precision fit: The ball sits in the race with a preloaded fit. This keeps play low and gives accurate, repeatable motion.
• Threaded male shank: The shank threads into tubing, adapters, or bungs for adjustable link lengths. Left-hand and right-hand thread versions are available across the line.

Each variant in this line is listed by bore and thread. Choose the bore and thread configuration that matches your application. These rod ends suit race car and performance builds that need strong, low-maintenance joints with generous articulation.
