Loader Slot Rod End The Loader Slot Series is a loader slot style rod end. The body is machined with a significant groove going all the way around the interior of the body. The ball is then inserted into the machined slot, and a PTFE/Nylon material is injected. This self-sealing material serves as a liner to keep dirt and debris out while also lubricating the rod end. In addition to providing added strength, the injection molded race also won’t pound out like traditional PTFE liners, increasing the longevity of your rod ends. These heavy duty rod ends are commonly used on 4-link and ladder bars for their strength and durability. Injection Molded Race Rod End Injection Molded Series rod ends feature a nylon self-lubricating reinforced race compound designed to provide low friction, low moisture absorbing properties and high wear resistance. These rod ends are protective coated for corrosion resistance and are available with left and right hand threads.
