Rod ends are mechanical articulating joints which provide simple mounting and adjustment of position in installations such as linkages and control rods. A ball swivel with an opening through which a bolt or other attaching hardware may pass is pressed into a circular casing with a threaded shaft attached. Parts are engineered using metric measurements.
- Used on the ends of steering links, tie rods or any application requiring an articulating joint
- Parts feature a ball joint/swivel for smooth, flexible operation
- Installs and unscrews using opposite motion compared to standard right-handed fasteners
- These metric ball joint rod ends are engineered for left-handed operation and feature a coarse M12-1.75 female threaded shaft
- Yellow dichromate Zinc-plating offers moderate protection against rust and corrosion
- Ideal for applications involving metric measurements
