Overview
The Currie CE-9113N is a narrow forged Johnny Joint, a rod end style joint for custom suspension builds. The narrow style offers 40 degrees of overall articulation travel.
The joint is a universal fit and is not matched to a specific vehicle. Its suitability depends on the arm, housing and thread used with it, and the size and thread details below cover the joint.

Threaded joints and articulation
A threaded joint in a custom arm takes both angular movement and axial load, so the thread engagement and jam nut setup matter as much as the joint itself. Articulation should be checked on the finished arm through its full range, since the housing or the boot can contact nearby parts before the joint reaches its stated travel. Setting the joint at the right depth keeps the ball centered and the load balanced.
Inspect the joint regularly for play, grease loss and damage to the boot or seal. Dirt and water that get inside wear the ball quickly, so keeping the joint greased and protected helps it last. Jam nuts should be checked for tightness after the first few trail runs, since vibration can loosen them over time and change the alignment.

Vehicle fitment
It is a universal fit, which means it is not tied to a particular Jeep or other vehicle. Compatibility depends on the arm, housing and thread in your build.
No vehicle is named for this joint, so no model is confirmed. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Confirm thread engagement and articulation clearance on the finished arm before final assembly. Suspension joints carry load, so inspect the joint and its fasteners after the first trail run.
What’s included
The joint itself.
Not included: The arm or tube the joint threads into is a separate item.
