Hello Everyone,
This is the official release and post for our new Roto-Joint. The Roto-Joint, short for rotational joint is a rebuildable and adjustable spherical bushing. It is designed to offer 28 degrees of total unrestricted movement allowing the suspension to articulate and prevents suspension bind. The Roto-Joint will out last any rod end while offering a quiet and smooth operation.
What is inside of a Roto-Joint? The construction of the Roto-Joint features a 4140 chrome moly, hard chrome plated spherical ball which rotates in a delrin race. The 4140 chrome moly material and hard chrome plating are designed for extensive wear resistance against hard driving and accumulated miles. The spherical ball rotates in the CNC machined delrin bushings, which are contoured for the spherical ball to allow unrestricted movement as the ball rotates. Delrin is the bushing material of choice due to its high resistance against wear, great tensile strength, and ability to maintain its physical properties. The Roto-Joint is a higher tolerance item and is assembled with inner locking washers with apply pressure to the joint preventing it from coming loose.
I have posted a few pictures below, almost all our items are available with the new Roto-Joint and many combinations. Please visit our site for specific items.
