Rod Ends
Rod ends consist of an eye-shaped head with integral shank that forms a housing for a spherical plain bearing. Ball joints are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles. They are used on virtually every automobile made and work similarly to the ball-and-socket design of the human hip joint.
