Not all rod ends are created equal but all rod ends are exposed to the same elements. Especially in racing where water, dirt and grit can do harm to the bearing surface. FK Rod Ends has the ultimate solution to protect and extend the life of rod end bearings: an encapsulating rubber boot.
FK Rod Ends’ RERS series boots are designed to protect the rod end from contaminates like dirt, sand and water.
Over the course of a racing season, racers spend hours in prep time, cleaning and lubricating rod end bearings. FK Rod Ends’ encapsulated rubber boots completely enclose the head portion of the rod end and are held in place by the rod ends’ mounting bolt. Providing a barrier type protection against all forms of contamination yet easy enough to remove for periodic inspection.
Routine inspection of the rod end is limited to regularly inspecting the boot for any tears or openings that would allow dirt, water or other contaminates into the rod end.
FK Rod Ends sells the boots in standard packages of six boots. They are offered in various inch sizes and metric sizes to cover rod ends from 3/16ths-inch to 1 1/4-inch in both male and female inch-sized rod ends. Metric sizes range from 6mm to 35mm in male and female rod ends.
