Rod End Reducers

Rod end reducers are used to effectively make the bore size of a bolt fitting smaller to accept a smaller bolt. Typical uses are for the spherical bearing of rod ends in suspension applications where a smaller bolt is needed for the entire assembly being bolted up. Two reducers are used on both sides of the spherical bearing to provide a flat mating surface for the entire bolt through the bearing.
