Give a custom lower link a rebuildable pivot
RockJock CE-9114C combines a forged threaded shank with cushioned, serviceable internals for links that need controlled movement without a metal-on-metal joint. Its 34-degree articulation and exact mounting envelope help builders design compatible brackets and link hardware.

- 34 degrees of manufacturer-specified articulation
- Serviceable two-piece urethane bushing internals
- 1.25-inch-12 right-hand threaded forged shank

FAQ
What is the CE-9114C?It is a standard-width, forged 2.5-inch Johnny Joint rod end for dimension-based suspension and linkage fabrication.
Does this rod end have standalone vehicle fitment?No. RockJock references it within selected lower control arms, but the loose joint must be matched to the exact arm, thread, mounting width, bolt bore, loads, and clearance.
What thread does the shank use?The forged shank has 1.25-inch-12 right-hand threads, with 3.250 inches of threaded length.
What are the pivot-ball dimensions?The pivot ball measures 2.625 inches across its mounting width and has a 0.562-inch through-bore.
How much articulation does the joint provide?RockJock specifies 34 degrees of articulation for this standard-width configuration.
What are the joint-body dimensions?The forged outer barrel is 2.5 inches in outside diameter and 2 inches wide.
How can the joint be lubricated?Use the installed 1/4-inch-28 zerk fitting, or a compatible RockJock greasable mounting bolt where the engineered installation supports it.
Which grease and grease gun should be used?Use non-synthetic high-moly grease with a hand-pump grease gun; powered grease guns can over-pressurize and damage the joint.
Are a jam nut and weld-in bung included?No. The package contains one assembled forged Johnny Joint; the compatible jam nut, optional weld-in bung, mounting bolt, and grease are separate.
Installation Instructions
- Confirm that the engineered application requires the exact right-hand thread, 2.625-inch mounting width, 0.562-inch through-bore, and 34-degree articulation range.
- Verify the package label and manufacturer part number CE-9114C before fabrication or installation begins.
- Have a qualified designer establish bracket spacing, link geometry, material grade, wall thickness, fastener specification, joint orientation, clearances, and expected loads.
- Thread the joint into a compatible 1.25-inch-12 right-hand link or bung with sufficient engagement, then fit the appropriate jam nut without forcing or cross-threading the shank.
- Align the pivot ball between dimension-matched brackets and install an application-rated fastener through the 0.562-inch bore.
- Set the link length and joint orientation, tighten the jam nut and mounting hardware to the engineered application specifications, and verify unrestricted movement through the full range.
- Check that hoses, wiring, chassis parts, tires, and other suspension components remain clear at full compression, droop, and steering travel where applicable.
- Lubricate only with non-synthetic high-moly grease and a hand-pump grease gun; stop before excess pressure can damage the joint.
- Reinspect thread engagement, fastener torque, clearance, and joint condition after the initial service interval and during routine maintenance.
