FK Bearing and Aurora rod ends — mild steel and chromoly heim joints for race car suspension

FK Bearing & Aurora Rod Ends — Heim Joints for Race Car Suspension & Steering

The Chassis Shop has been using and providing premium quality rod ends to racers and car builders for over 4 decades. We carry an extensive selection of both FK Bearing and Timken Aurora Bearing rod ends in a large variety of sizes — male or female, mild steel or chromoly bodies — in addition to rod end inserts. The rod end selections we offer from these manufacturers are Made in the USA.

Proven in aerospace, racing, and industrial manufacturing, these premier rod end manufacturers’ stringent quality control methods ensure optimal strength with smooth operation. You are buying a precision machined component that takes plenty of abuse — in the performance aftermarket these are critical suspension components that should not be compromised by inferior copies subject to premature failure.

Long gone is the sweetness of a few pennies saved - when your car is wadded up because a cheap rod end failed.

For reference: rod ends are also commonly called Heim Joints, Heim Joint Rod Ends, Spherical Bearings, or Rose Joints.

 

PTFE (Teflon) Lined Rod Ends — Built to Last

The PTFE liner option is highly recommended for zero clearance requirements, superior wear resistance, and reduced lubrication requirements. Teflon lined rod ends are ideal for suspension and steering connections — a favorite choice for race cars with 4-link rear suspensions.

 

Male Mild Steel Rod Ends — Two Piece Series

 

Female Mild Steel Rod Ends — Two Piece Series

 

Male Chromoly Rod Ends — Three Piece Series

 

Male Heavy Duty Chromoly Rod Ends — Extra Heavy Duty Series

 

High Misalignment Rod Ends — Teflon Lined, Chromoly

Special ball shoulders allow for greater angular misalignment than standard rod ends — ideal for applications with extreme suspension travel or tight packaging constraints.

 

Rod End Inserts — For Shock Ends & Fixed Applications

Rod end inserts are used for shock end bearings and components that don’t require adjustability — a spherical bearing without the threaded shank.
