Johnny Joints are essential for off-road vehicles, offering unmatched flexibility, durability, and quiet performance. Perfect for suspension systems, they enhance articulation, reduce suspension bind, and improve overall ride quality.
Johnny Joints provide improved suspension articulation, allowing control arms and trailing arms to move independently over rough terrain. This minimizes suspension bind, helping wheels maintain better ground contact and enhancing overall off-road performance.
As a rebuildable flex joint, Johnny Joints offer greater durability and flexibility compared to traditional rubber bushings. They can withstand the impacts and stresses encountered in off-road driving, making them ideal for rugged environments.
Unlike Heim joints (rod ends), which can be noisy and less forgiving, Johnny Joints offer quieter operation while still delivering high shock resistance, improving comfort and performance on tough terrains.
Commonly used in 4-link suspension systems, Johnny Joints excel in controlling movement and enhancing suspension articulation in both front and rear suspensions, as well as in custom suspension setups.
Johnny Joints strike a perfect balance between the comfort of rubber bushings and the performance of Heim joints, offering flexibility without compromising on noise reduction or shock resistance.
Unlike metal-to-metal Heim joints, our Johnny Joints use high-density polyurethane bushings that absorb road vibration and reduce harshness. This design provides a noticeably quieter and more comfortable ride while maintaining strong off-road capability.
A Johnny Joint is a lifetime investment. When the internal bushing wears out, you don’t need to replace the entire joint—just swap in an inexpensive rebuild kit. Within minutes, your joint performs like new again.
Designed for high-flex suspension systems, our joints offer impressive articulation and rotational freedom. Even in extreme off-road, cross-axle conditions, they keep the wheels planted without the binding and rebound resistance found in rubber bushings.
Equipped with a Zerk fitting, our Johnny Joints allow easy lubrication. Regular greasing maintains smooth movement and flushes out internal contaminants, significantly extending the joint’s service life.
Similar to rod ends, Johnny Joints have been one of our earliest products. With years of experience in production and sales, we have developed strong expertise and reliable manufacturing capabilities.
We offer full customization of Johnny Joints based on customer needs. Simply provide us with your technical drawings, and we can even help develop new products tailored to your specifications.

We offer three different styles of Johnny Joints. The main differences are in the appearance and bushing materials, but functionally, they are identical and can be used interchangeably. Please refer to our product categories for more details.
The Johnny Joint housing can be made from forged steel, chromoly 4130, or stainless steel. The ball options include 52100 bearing steel, 4130 chromoly steel, and high-carbon heat-treated steel. The bushing materials include Polyurethane and Delrin®. For specific custom requirements, feel free to email us or submit an inquiry form.
We use a proprietary high-density polyurethane compound that is harder, more wear-resistant, and more chemically stable than OEM rubber. It will not age, crack, or deteriorate like traditional rubber bushings.
Yes, it’s very easy to repair. While we offer a dedicated tool for convenience, field repairs only require basic snap-ring pliers and a hammer. You can rebuild the joint even during an off-road emergency.
Quiet operation is one of their biggest advantages. The polyurethane bushing isolates the metal ball, providing natural damping. With regular greasing, Johnny Joints run nearly silent compared to Heim joints.
Absolutely. Our threaded shanks are fully solid and heat-treated. Made from forged or precision-machined high-strength alloy steel, they are engineered to handle the extreme torque loads of Jeeps and rock crawlers.
We offer multiple standard mounting widths designed to match most popular aftermarket brackets. Please refer to our specification chart for exact measurements.
Yes, if the Johnny Joint model you need is in our stock, we can sell just one unit. Additionally, we keep some housing blanks in stock. If the finished product is not available, you can choose from our housing blanks, and we will customize it for you. Even if you only need a few units, we can produce them.
