A rod end bearing, also known as a Heim joint, is a mechanical articulating joint. Such joints are used on the ends of control rods, steering links, tie rods, or anywhere a precision articulating joint is required, and where a clevis end. The advantage is that the ball insert permits the rod or bolt passing through it to be misaligned to a limited degree.
Feature:
- Material: The #45 steel rod end body and hardened bearing steel ball joint ensures long service life.
- Finish: The spherical surface of the inner ring with chromium plating and the rod body surface with zinc-plated.
- Features: Large load rating, low noise, anti-corrosion, tough, and durable.
- Application: Widely used in engineering hydraulic cylinders, machinery, cars, motorcycles, ATVs, ships, power tools, automation equipment, CNC equipment, and so on.

I used the Heim joint to replace the OEM joints on a 2024 road king special shifter linkage. It was done for preventative maintenance. The results are solid shifts and the joints should last for many years. FYI, on my application I had to thread the linkage rod farther down on each end with a tap & die set to enable me to get the overall length where it was needed.

Worked out so nice on my road king I ordered a second set for my street glide. Definitely recommend to replace the factory tie rod ball socket ends on factory shifter linkage.

Very good quality. Fit perfectly and as an added bonus, they are color matched to the harley shifter rod that I installed them on.

I used them to make a throttle linkage on my stock car. Very nice product that worked well and saved a bunch of money by building my own.
