Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rod end bearing?
A rod end is a mechanical articulating joint that combines a threaded shank with a spherical bearing, allowing movement while maintaining precise alignment.
What's the difference between a rod end and a spherical bearing?
A rod end incorporates the spherical bearing into a threaded housing, while a spherical bearing is supplied separately for installation into a fabricated housing or suspension component.
Should I choose PTFE-lined rod ends?
PTFE-lined bearings offer smoother operation, reduced maintenance and longer service life, making them an excellent choice for motorsport applications.
Do you stock both metric and imperial sizes?
Yes. Our range includes a variety of metric and imperial thread sizes to suit both modern and classic vehicles.
Can these be used on road cars?
Many rod ends are intended primarily for motorsport and competition use. Always ensure the specification is suitable for your intended application and complies with relevant regulations.
