Rod ends and accessories
Racing Series Ultra High
Performance Rod Ends (Metric and imperial Thread). This range features a loaded slot style
of rod end that was introduced to the market in 1995. The body is machined with
a significant groove going all the way around the interior of the body. The
ball is then inserted into the machined slot and a Teflon®/Kevlar® material is
injected, serving as a liner to keep dirt and debris out, while also
lubricating the rod end. In addition to providing added strength, the injection
moulded race also won’t “pound out” like traditional PTFE (Teflon®) liners,
increasing the longevity of your rod ends. The body is heat treated and is
made from Chrome Molybdenum for excellent strength and corrosion
resistance. This is simply the best rod end design for most motorsport
applications.
