Misalignment spacers

Misalignment spacers are used together with uniballs and rod ends when you need to build or adapt suspension components, steering parts or other moving mounts where the joint must be able to operate at an angle without binding. They are mounted on each side of the spherical bearing and serve several important functions in one solution.

First and foremost, they help create the necessary clearance around the joint so the uniball or rod end can move more freely during suspension travel and steering angle. This is especially important in motorsport, custom builds and performance projects, where standard spacers often limit movement and can cause the joint to bind. Misalignment spacers are also used to adjust the width so the joint fits correctly in brackets, control arms, steering arms, anti-roll bar links, toe arms, traction bars and other mounting points. At the same time, they make it possible to reduce the hole diameter so a joint with a larger inner bore can be used with a smaller bolt if the setup requires it.
