Internally Threaded Inline Ball Joint Linkages
Use these linkages to create inline pivoting connections. The ball-and-socket design allows the ball stud to swivel. All have a liner (also known as a boot) that not only keeps out contaminants, but also acts as a cushion to reduce vibration.
Zinc alloy linkages come lubricated, so you won’t need to lubricate them at installation. They will require ongoing lubrication.

Internally Threaded Ball Joint Linkages
Able to stand up to frequent use, these linkages offer excellent wear resistance. They consist of ball joint rod ends with a ball stud attached to simplify mounting. The stud is machined to fit perfectly inside its housing and swivel in all directions—good for clutches, throttles, and shift control rods.
Linkages with seal have a seal to keep lubricant in and dirt out. Those with a blended rubber seal will require ongoing lubrication.

Single U-Joints
Connect and transfer torque between two shafts that are misaligned at an angle. Your shafts’ misalignment will affect the speed and torque these U-joints will be able to transmit. The more the shafts are misaligned, the less speed and torque they’ll be able to transmit.
Pin-and-block U-joints handle higher torque at lower speeds than other joint types such as those with needle bearings, making them a good choice for most applications. To extend their life by keeping lubricant in and contaminants out, use the grooves on their body to add a cover (sometimes called bellows or boots). Zinc U-joints are for hand-powered, low-speed applications. They are more corrosion resistant than steel U-joints.
U-joints for round shafts connect to shafts with spring pins (included with some U-joints). U-joints without spring pins require you to drill holes through both the U-joint and your shafts.
