RockJock's Johnny Joint Rod Ends have been a staple in the off road industry since 1996! Available universally for builders or found in our RockJock suspension components, John Currie’s proven formula provides a reliable, greasable, rebuildable joint that is capable of dramatic articulation in off-road applications, while still providing smooth, cushioned, quiet performance during on-road use.
Johnny Joints are available as a forged rod end with various RH and LH thread sizes from 3/4 in. up to a massive 1 1/2 in. thread! Additionally, weld-on versions of all Johnny Joints are available for fabricators.
Specialty joints, such as polished stainless steel, long body and bent forgings and application specific machined joints are all available for custom builder use.
All sizes of joints offer a standard or a narrow width joint body which provide different levels of overall articulation range (up to 30 plus degrees on a standard body and up to 40 plus degrees on a narrow body). The narrow body’s 1 piece bushing will provide a slightly firmer ride.

This Johnny Joint Barrel is a weld-on, standard width, 4130 chromoly steel body that is CNC machined from 2 1/2 in. OD x .250 in. wall tubing and features a lip in one end of the bore that is the stop for the internals and a snap ring groove at the opposite end of the bore to retain the internals.
This barrel accepts the 2 piece bushing style internals and will accept any 2 1/2 in. pivot ball that we make (with reduced articulation the narrower the ball gets).
Greasing is handled externally, after installing a 1/4 in.-28 zerk fitting into the drilled and tapped hole.

Notes:

• Johnny Joints require non-synthetic, hi-moly lube grease such as our CE-9013G
• Applicable Johnny Joint Tool for this barrel: CE-9110T
• *** IMPORTANT *** - joints require greasing at normal intervals, but they do not hold a lot of grease! Over greasing can cause damage to the joint. To prevent damage, use only a hand pump grease gun, do not expect the joint to take a lot of grease and DO NOT use pneumatic or electric grease guns!
