Competition Engineering offers a complete assortment of high-quality rod ends to meet specific applications ranging from throttle linkages to suspension arms. Each rod end comes with one jam nut, and is available in a number of sizes in both right and left hand threads. All-steel bodies are available in either carbon steel or chrome moly. Chrome Moly is recommended in 4-Link and Ladder Suspension Kits, and also comes in a "Magnum Series" that offers self-lubricating, self-sealing rod ends with increased thickness and textile strength. The Polyurethane Bushing rod ends are for street applications using Ladder Bars. There is a maintenance procedure for rod ends. Before each race, rod ends should be examined for excessive play by moving the bar back and forth and noting any excessive ball movement. Visually inspect the rod ends for any signs of wear, cracks, or metal filings. Replace any rod end that exhibits any one of these characteristics. Routine rod maintenance should also include cleaning and re-oiling. This can be accomplished by removing the rod ends, cleaning them with a solvent (for example, mineral spirits) and allowing them to air dry. Once dry, lubricate the rod ends with good quality 30-weight motor oil. For high heat applications, use synthetic grease.
