Fk Rod Ends Male Thread

FK Rod Ends male thread rod ends (also called heim joints or spherical rod end bearings) are economical, 2-piece, metal-to-metal rod ends. They are used as pivoting linkage connections in suspension, steering and control-rod applications. Each rod end has a threaded male shank that screws into a tube or linkage. The spherical ball inside the head lets the joint pivot and misalign.

Key Features:

• 2-piece, metal-to-metal construction for a simple, low-cost design
• Low carbon steel body that is zinc plated and chromate treated for corrosion resistance
• 52100 steel ball with a hard chrome plated finish
• Male threaded shank for easy installation into tubing or linkage ends
• Misalignment capability from the spherical ball design, which allows angular movement through the joint
• Made in the USA by FK Rod Ends (FK Bearings)
