Rod-End Misalignment and Clearance
Spacers position a rod end between mounting tabs while adding clearance around the spherical ball and fastener. Select the spacer width, bore, and shoulder geometry to preserve the required angular travel.
• Hms Material: Zinc plated Carbon steel.
• Sg Material: Stainless steel (optional).

Ask for Custom SupportROD END SPACER SG / HMS are precision spacers used between rod ends, spherical joints, mounting tabs, and fasteners to establish the required width, clearance, and misalignment space. They help position the spherical joint inside a bracket stack without changing the rod-end body. Select spacer bore, width, shoulder geometry, material, surface treatment, and fastener grip so the assembly remains aligned and free to articulate through its working travel.

Spacer hardware is commonly used in control-arm, sway-bar, radius-rod, and fabricated chassis assemblies. Confirm stack height, bolt grip, bracket parallelism, and the load path through the mount.

Different spacer heights help resolve bracket offset and packaging constraints without changing the rod end itself. Use compatible materials and surface protection where moisture, fretting, or galvanic contact is a concern.

Suitable for motorsport assemblies where spacer shape, material, and misalignment angle affect packaging and service access.

Can be used in fabricated control arms and link assemblies to tune width and bolt fit while preserving articulation.

Works well in heavy-duty hardware packages needing either carbon steel or stainless spacer options.
A high misalignment spacer is used to increase rod end articulation and tune installed width around the mounting bolt and bracket package.
HMS versions use zinc plated carbon steel, while SG versions provide a stainless option for corrosion-sensitive environments.
D and B affect the rod end bore interface and bolt interface, making them the first dimensions to confirm for compatibility.
Total installed width helps define the assembled package width between brackets and how the spacer pair locates the rod end in the mount.
Compare the published misalignment angle together with D2, W, and W2 because spacer profile and joint size both influence final articulation.
Yes. SYZ can review custom spacer geometry and material requests for OEM and fabrication programs.
