What are the differences between rebuildable joints such as Johnny Joints, Flexjoints, etc. Reason I ask is I have some brand X flexjoint style ends that I need to rebuild and I'm curious what I can use.

Most are brand specific, find out who makes em and go from there

PORC, and 2 others were buying all the hard parts from a bulk machinist and putting their own inserts in. It was 3 diff vendors running the same hard parts and different consumables. Damn if I can remember the other 2. post pics of the joints and maybe someone can help you.
some have delrin, some have harder plastic inserts. if its these, you will have a choice on what to go back with.

some also require a press to get the joint back together, IIRC its a JJ, so no trail repairs unless you got a pocket hydro press ;D

If its free, its P

Yes, JJ's are not going to be rebuilt on the trail. laughing
Then I don't believe I have JJs. The "bushing" is two halves with that weird flex ball sleeve thing inside, a washer on each side and c-clips to hold it all together. I'll try to take a picture today.

if C clips hold both sides in, it could be. the ones I am talking about are spanner wrench one side and clip on the static side. cool thing about those is you could tighten the nut if they clank

that is how the ballistic ends are on mine, the JJ's are as Ricky is describing. Snapring on one side and a washer that lays in a machined surface on the other. All the innards are pressed into it then you put the c clip in place.
**** I just did a thread describing this in off topic area giving the Ballistics Kudos on how user friendly they are over the JJ's

yup, I have liked the idea of a threaded joint since I saw the first snap ring joint. what a PITA idea. cheaper though.
Well I talked to the old owner of the ZJ and he said they might be Currie Boulder joints. I STILL haven't crawled under it to take a pic yet though.
