Johnny Joint® Suspension Components
Currie's Johnny Joint® offer 30 degrees of unrestricted movement in any direction as compared to 22 degrees on a common heim joint. The bushing in the Johnny Joint® rod ends are made with a high density, "tough 88" urethane that encases the inner ball. Its a very durable material and it is impervious to weather. The special ball is heat treated steel for extra strength. and on the 2" and 2 1/2" models the ball is cross drilled for thru-bolt lubrication. The 3" joint is lubricated via zerk fitting on the outer shell. Outer shells on the 2" and 2 1/2" are heat treated steel. The retaining washers on the 3" are machined out of 4340 chrome moly and feature a snap ring safety machined into the face of them to protect the snap ring safety machined into the face of them to protect the snap ring from coming out. 2" joints include a 7/16" greaseable thru-bolt, and the 3" joint accepts but does not include a 3/4" bolt. 2" joints are also available with a 3/4" RH threaded stud welded to them. The 2 1/2" joints are available in a forged version with either 1" RH or LH threads or 1 1/4" RH or LH threads, and the 2" joints are available in a forged version with 3/4" RH or LH threads.
