Rod Ends
McKinney Corp. knows rod ends! The proper selection and use of rod ends is critical in a race car. That's why we specify only high-strength 4130 rod ends for highly stressed applications such as suspensions, steering, and linkages. Standard rod ends are suitable for applications that do not require maximum strength.

We stock rod ends with a wide variety of thread sizes and hole diameters; many are available with right-hand or left-hand threads, as well as female threads. McKinney is your one-stop source for specialty rod ends-including hard-to-find titanium and aluminum versions!
