XD Adjustable Clutch Fork Push Rod | 66-77 Bronco, 65-72 Ford Truck SKU: 8165

XD Clutch Fork Adjusting Push Rod | 66-77 Ford Bronco, 65-72 Ford Truck

Upgrade your clutch linkage with this Extreme Duty Clutch Fork Push Rod for 1966-77 Ford Bronco and 1965-72 Ford Truck. Designed to replace the factory-style push rod that relies on a plastic bushing, this version uses a bolt-in rod end to create a solid, precise connection between the linkage and clutch fork.

The result is reduced play, improved pedal consistency, and more accurate clutch engagement compared to stock components. Whether you’re restoring a factory setup or building a trail-ready rig, this push rod delivers a tighter, more controlled feel underfoot.

Why Upgrade to a Bolt-In Rod End?

The factory clutch fork adjusting rod uses a fixed eyelet with a plastic bushing. Over time, that bushing wears, compresses, and develops play—leading to inconsistent pedal feel, vague engagement, and added slop in the linkage. It’s one of the weak links in an otherwise solid mechanical clutch system.

This Extreme Duty version replaces that setup with a bolt-in rod end, creating a tight, metal-to-metal pivot point that dramatically reduces unwanted movement. The result is more precise clutch engagement, improved pedal consistency, and a stronger connection between the linkage and clutch fork. Instead of flex and wear at the bushing, you get a controlled pivot designed to handle repeated use on the street or trail.
