About Rod Ends

Ball Joint Rod Ends
Made of steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. They don’t come lubricated, so you’ll need to lubricate during installation and on an ongoing basis.
Zinc-plated steel rod ends provide moderate corrosion resistance.

Lubrication-Free Ball Joint Rod Ends
A carbon fiber-reinforced insert or PTFE liner reduces wear, handles shock loads, and eliminates the need for lubrication. Made of steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. All are zinc plated, so they resist corrosion for a short time before the finish is consumed and the steel is exposed.

Internally Threaded Chemical-Resistant Ball Joint Rod Ends
Made of impact-resistant nylon, these rod ends withstand corrosion as well as fuels, lyes, and weak acids. They are also 80% lighter than steel rod ends. A self-lubricating nylon ball provides maximum abrasion resistance and eliminates the need for lubrication.
