TURNBUCKLE HEX BAR Product Overview
HBT12-9.00 is a 3/4-16 hex bar turnbuckle with 1.0″ hex across flats and 9.00″ total body length. Both ends are female-threaded (one RH, one LH) to accept rod ends or ball joints.
The HBT series hex bar turnbuckle is a female-female adjuster: thread one rod end into the right-hand end and another into the left-hand end. Rotating the hex body with a wrench extends or shortens the assembly in fine increments. Used for wheel alignment adjustment, suspension geometry tuning, steering tie rods, and any application requiring precise, tool-accessible length adjustment. Carbon steel, silver zinc plated.
All HBT12 sizes use 3/4-16 thread and 1.0″ hex. Lengths from 2″ to 26″ available across the series. Metric thread and special hex sizes available in volume. For single-end female adjustment, see the LBA linkage adjuster series.

What material is standard for this series?
The standard material is carbon steel with silver zinc plating.
Why are thread and thread length the first fitment checks?
They determine compatibility with the mating hardware and how much usable threaded adjustment is available.
What does the hex bar body improve?
The hex body improves wrench engagement and makes field adjustment easier in packaged linkage systems.
Are special sizes available?
Yes. Special sizes are available in volume for OEM and repeat production demand.
How do I choose the correct part length?
Start with thread and thread length, then confirm total part length and hex size for the intended assembly.
