Looked very good quality, but be advised this is NOT the correct rod end for Sonex.

Of the eight I ordered one had poor tolerances and was as loose as the ones I removed. Otherwise, they seem to be very good quality.

Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: How do you tell the difference between the male threaded end and the female internal threaded end for these Aurora bearings? I am a Sonex builder and need the female parts to thread onto the male rod ends for the ailerons and flaps.

We have added a column to the product table which calls out male or female thread. Please review it on the web page.

Q: What is the thread diameter (in inches) of P/N MM-2?

.1380-32 UNC thread

Q: Do these come with locknuts?

No the nuts are not included.
