R-Joint rod end with 3/4"-16 RH x 5/8" I.D. Bearing spacers for bracket spacing of 1.75" are included. Right hand Or Right hand thread available.

FEATURES: 

R-Joints are a revolutionary rod end design that provides low friction, full range articulation, long service life, lateral stability and quiet operation. 

-- Articulates in 3 planes 360 degree axial rotation and 30 degrees of total lateral rotation. 
-- 17-4 investment cast stainless steel housing with rolled threads.
-- Polished stainless ball and RTX10 composite cage provides consistent low friction movement.
-- Special RTX10 composite cage needs NO lubrication.
-- Self cleaning design…movement not affected by ANY water, grit, dirt, or debris.
-- Spring loaded closure keeps mechanism tight and rattle free for LIFE!

 R-Joint rod ends feature low friction movement, full range articulation, and quiet operation. An RTX10 composite cage, with spring loaded closure works in concert with a 17-4 stainless steel housing and a stainless steel ball.  Also available as weld-on spherical bearings R-Joint rod ends are equally at home on the street and on the racetrack! 

FEATURES:

• Articulates in 3 planes … 360 degree axial rotation and 30 degrees of total lateral rotation.
• 17-4 investment cast stainless steel housing with rolled threads. (R-Joint)
• Weld-On models feature carbon steel housings.
• Polished stainless ball and RTX10 composite cage allow consistent low friction movement.
• Special RTX10 composite compound needs NO lubrication.
• Self cleaning design…movement not affected by ANY water, grit, dirt, or debris.
• Spring loaded closure to keep mechanism tight and rattle free for LIFE!

COMPARE:

R-Joints resolve common issues associated with rubber and polyuretherane bushings as well as all-metal rod ends. 

• Rubber Bushings allow uncontrolled lateral suspension movement resulting in sloppy handling.
• Polyurethane bushings Cause undesirable friction spikes during rotational movement along with distracting squeaking noise. Roll-bind limits articulation -- especially in racing.
• All-metal rod ends also known as heim joints, are susceptible to premature wear. All-metal rod ends get loose, rattle and are compromised by dirt and moisture.
• Delrin bushings are superior to rubber and poly bushings. If your suspension links accomodate threaded bushing ends, R-joints will enhance articulaton.

R-Joint XL Material Specs:

• Ball: 304 Stainless Steel
• Composite: RTX10
• Wave Spring: 17-7 Stainless Steel
• Retainer Ring: 302 Stainless Steel
• Housing: 17-4 Stainless Steel
• Spacers: 303 Stainless Steel
• Housing Manufacturing:

R-Joint XL housing is investment cast in the United States. The Casting then goes through a H900 Solution Anneal heat treatment to remove any crystallization. The heat treatment both increases tensile strength and ductility. All threading and machining is performed post heat treatment.
