Rock Jock Johnny Joint Rod End Weld-On Ball

The Rock Jock Johnny Joint weld-on rod end (also called a weld-on Johnny Joint or weld-in rod end bearing) is built for fabricators and suspension builders. It works in control arms, links, trac bars and other custom suspension parts. Johnny Joints have been a staple of the off-road industry since 1996. They are greasable and rebuildable. They allow a lot of articulation off-road and stay smooth, cushioned and quiet on the street.

Key Features:

• Urethane-cushioned design: A high-density urethane bushing encases the inner ball. It adds cushioning that a standard heim joint does not provide.
• More articulation than a heim joint: Standard-body joints allow about 30 degrees of unrestricted movement. Narrow-body joints allow up to 40 degrees. A common heim joint allows about 22 degrees.
• Weldable outer shell: The outer shell is machined from weldable steel tubing, either DOM or 4130 chromoly, depending on the joint. It is made to be welded directly to your tubing or fabricated bracket.
• Greasable: A zerk fitting or a greasable thru-bolt keeps the joint lubricated. Johnny Joints need non-synthetic, hi-moly grease and a hand grease gun. Do not overgrease them.
• Heat-treated internals: The heat-treated center ball is cross-drilled for thru-bolt lubrication. The internals are retained by heavy-duty side washers and a snap ring.
• Rebuildable: The joint can be serviced and rebuilt instead of replaced.
• Universal fit: Weld-on construction suits custom and fabricated suspension builds.

Rock Jock offers weld-on Johnny Joints in several body styles and ball configurations. Choose the one that matches your build's articulation, strength and mounting needs.
