ROD ENDS AND TUBE ADAPTORS

Rod Ends

McDonald Bros Racing have in stock a large range of rod ends to suit every application. The most commonly use rod end in racing applications is the spherical bearing or Heim joint variety that are available in extra heavy duty chrome moly (3/4" radial load 28,000 lb) rod ends. These are available in a number of sizes in right and left hand thread. We strongly recommend the use of Chrome Moly rod ends on our 4 link kits and the front of our ladder bars. For shear strength there is nothing better than our solid rod end, as used on the rear of our ladder bars, made from premium grade K1045 material. These are capable of handling the most concentrated forces and are rated at 20,000 lb radial load.

The requirements of street driven vehicles are different from racing applications and accordingly McDonald Bros developed over 30 years ago these polyurethane bushed rod ends. We use these ends on our 2 link, triangulated 4 link, street 4 link and 4 bar kits. The poly bush eliminates the metal to metal contact present in other rod ends, which makes for quiet operation.

Our bushed rod ends are available in both K1045 steel and 304SS stainless steel, perfect for that show quality look when polished.

NOTE: Rod ends wear out and should be inspected annually for slop and replaced immediately.
