Artec RE1438 JMX 7/8"-14 Chromoly Rod End Kit RH 3/4" Hole 1.63" MW Narrow

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal - designed for suspension and steering applications on Jeep, Toyota, Ford, GM, and other solid axle 4WD platforms requiring a 7/8"-14 TPI right-hand thread rod end with a 3/4" bolt hole and 1.63" mounting width

Fitment Notes

• Right-hand (standard) thread - verify thread direction before ordering; for left-hand reverse thread at 3/4" hole and 1.63" MW, see RE1439
• 3/4" bolt hole and 1.63" mounting width (narrow) - the narrowest configuration in the JMX 3/4"-hole family; intended for bracket slots that are narrower than the standard 2.0" or 2.625" Artec bracket widths
• Verify your bracket mounting width before ordering - this is the narrow (1.63" MW) variant; for 3/4" hole at 2.0" MW, see RE1436; for wider 2.625" applications, see the 9/16" hole variants (RE1434/RE1435)
• Tube adapter included fits 1.0" ID x 1.5" OD DOM tubing - verify your tubing ID before ordering
• Jam nut should not be reused once removed - always install a new nut if the rod end is disassembled
• Sold as a kit (single rod end with associated hardware)

Features

• JMX series PTFE (Teflon) liner keeps the joint tight and quiet for significantly longer service life than injection-molded nylon race alternatives
• Heat-treated 4130 Chromoly body with silver zinc finish for corrosion resistance and high tensile strength
• Heat-treated bearing steel ball with hard chrome polish for smooth, low-friction articulation under heavy loads
• Heat-treated alloy steel race outlasts budget rod ends with injection-molded races
• 3/4" bolt hole provides maximum shear strength at the mounting point for the 7/8" shank JMX series
• 1.63" narrow mounting width suits tight-clearance bracket slots and custom fabrication applications not accommodated by wider MW variants
• Wrench-flat tube adapter allows easy jam nut tightening and link length adjustment without surface damage
• Stainless steel high misalignment spacers ensure correct installed mounting width of 1.63"
• Made in the USA

Product Description

The Artec Industries RE1438 is the narrow-width variant of the JMX 7/8"-14 TPI right-hand rod end kit, featuring a 3/4" bolt hole and 1.63" installed mounting width. It occupies the tightest-clearance position in the JMX 3/4"-hole family - narrower than the RE1436 (2.0" MW) and considerably narrower than the 2.625" standard Artec bracket width - making it the right choice for custom fabrication applications, steering linkage positions, or suspension mounts where the bracket slot width is too narrow for the wider mounting width variants.

Built on the same JMX platform, it features a heat-treated 4130 Chromoly body with silver zinc finish, PTFE (Teflon) lined heat-treated alloy steel race, and a hard chrome polished bearing steel ball for long-term quiet, tight service life. The wrench-flat tube adapter fits 1.0" ID x 1.5" OD DOM tubing and simplifies jam nut tightening and link length adjustment. Right-hand thread - for left-hand reverse thread in the same 3/4" hole, 1.63" MW configuration, see RE1439. Sold as a complete kit. Made in the USA.
