Everything you need for one 7/8" link end, matched and boxed under one part number. The 7/8" Rod End Kit pairs a Pro 8 Series 7/8" bore x 7/8-14 chromoly rod end with its jam nut, a 7/8-14 weld-in round bung and two 17-4 stainless high misalignment spacers that step the bore down to a 1/2" bolt.
The rod end, jam nut and bung share one thread direction, and the spacers set a 2.125" stack height for maximum articulation. Built for 4-link and 3-link bars, trailing arms, panhard and track bars, and custom control arms. One kit builds one end of a link. For an adjustable link, order one Right Hand kit and one Left Hand kit.

FAQ
Right hand or left hand kit?
Most adjustable links use one of each: a Right Hand kit on one end and a Left Hand kit on the other, so turning the tube changes the length without unbolting either end. The rod end, jam nut and bung in each kit all share the same thread direction.
What bolt does it take?
A 1/2" bolt. The rod end bore is 7/8", and the two high misalignment spacers step it down to 1/2".
What does 2.125" stack height mean?
It is the width of the assembled joint: the .875" ball plus a .625" spacer on each side, 2.125" total. Set your mounting tabs 2-1/8" apart.
What tube does the bung fit?
The round bung has a 1.498" weld pilot made for tube with a 1-1/2" inside diameter. Confirm your tube ID before welding.
Does the rod end need grease?
No. The PTFE liner is self-lubricating, so don't pack it with grease. Grease holds dirt and can shorten liner life.
What does F1 mean?
It is the torque fit. F1 is extremely tight, rated 6 ft-lb to 24 ft-lb no-load breakaway torque. The same rod end is also sold on its own in F2, moderately tight.
How does it go together?
Weld the bung into the tube. Thread the jam nut onto the rod end, then thread the rod end into the bung and set your length. Snug the jam nut against the bung. Slide a spacer into each side of the ball, flared end facing out toward the mounting tab.
