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.

What Is ROD END SPACER SG / HMS?
ROD 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.
Typical Applications
Applications for ROD END SPACER SG / HMS
Suspension and Chassis Mounting
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.
Custom Linkage Packaging
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.
Motorsport Rod End Packaging
Suitable for motorsport assemblies where spacer shape, material, and misalignment angle affect packaging and service access.
Fabricated Control Arm Spacing
Can be used in fabricated control arms and link assemblies to tune width and bolt fit while preserving articulation.
Heavy-Duty Industrial Rod End Hardware
Works well in heavy-duty hardware packages needing either carbon steel or stainless spacer options.
Product FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a high misalignment spacer used for?
A high misalignment spacer is used to increase rod end articulation and tune installed width around the mounting bolt and bracket package.
What is the difference between HMS and SG materials?
HMS versions use zinc plated carbon steel, while SG versions provide a stainless option for corrosion-sensitive environments.
Why do D and B matter for fitment?
D and B affect the rod end bore interface and bolt interface, making them the first dimensions to confirm for compatibility.
What does total installed width control?
Total installed width helps define the assembled package width between brackets and how the spacer pair locates the rod end in the mount.
How should I compare misalignment angle between sizes?
Compare the published misalignment angle together with D2, W, and W2 because spacer profile and joint size both influence final articulation.
Can SYZ support custom spacer dimensions?
Yes. SYZ can review custom spacer geometry and material requests for OEM and fabrication programs.
