Fk Rod Ends Extra Strength Male

The FK Rod Ends Extra Strength Male line is a family of heavy-duty male threaded rod ends, also called heim joints or spherical rod end bearings. They are built for steering linkages, tie rods, drag links, suspension links and other high-load linkage applications in racing, off-road and custom fabrication.

Key Features:

• 3-piece construction: The rod end is made up of a body, a race and a ball, and is designed for extra strength.
• Heavy-duty shank: The reinforced shank is designed to handle demanding loads.
• Hardened ball: The ball is 52100 steel, heat treated and hard chrome plated.
• Heat-treated alloy steel body and race: They are zinc plated and chromate treated for strength and corrosion resistance.
• Male threaded shank: It threads directly into a tube, bracket or linkage.
• PTFE liner option: The series offers PTFE-lined versions for self-lubricating, low-maintenance operation.

The ball-and-race design allows angular misalignment, so linkages move smoothly through their range of travel. These rod ends suit builders who want a strong, durable joint for steering and suspension linkages.
