Overview
The Currie CE-9116N-13 is a narrow forged Johnny Joint measuring 2 in. with 40 degrees of overall articulation travel. It is a rod end for custom suspension builds and a universal fit.
The threaded end is 7/8 in. RH, and the ball measures .562 in. x 1.600 in. Since no vehicle is covered, the joint suits a builder who designs the arm around these dimensions and checks the thread and ball against the parts they connect to.
Key features
- Narrow forged construction
- Listed size of 2 in.

- Universal fit as listed
- Narrow style that Currie describes as an exclusive design
Setting up articulation
Articulation on a narrow forged joint depends on the arm angle as much as the joint itself. A narrow style fits tight packaging, but the arm must still clear the frame, the axle and any brake lines through full travel. Test the range with the link assembled and the vehicle supported before the final tightening, and mark any spot where the joint binds.
Thread engagement matters because the joint carries load through the threaded end. Make sure the full thread engages the arm, and use a jam nut or locking method suited to your build. A joint that drops a link on the trail usually failed at the thread or the ball, so inspect those first when something feels loose. Recheck the joint after the first few outings, and replace any ball that shows play or rough movement.

Vehicle fitment
Currie lists universal fit, and no vehicle, chassis code or year range is given for this 2 in. joint. Fit is set by the build: the arm, the housing, and the thread and ball sizes.
Match the 2 in. size and 7/8 in. thread to the arm you are building. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Test articulation on the assembled link before final tightening, and confirm the thread engages fully in the arm. A joint that fails under load can drop a link, so check it early in trail use.
