Hub Bearing Crush Spacer For Sprint And Midget

The hub bearing crush spacer for sprint and midget race cars is a precision aluminum component engineered to maintain proper bearing preload and axle alignment in high-rpm, high-load racing environments. As an experienced mechanic in circle track competition, you know that bearing preload directly affects wheel runout, drag, and overall handling balance. This spacer eliminates the guesswork from bearing setup by providing a fixed, repeatable crush height, ensuring consistent performance lap after lap without the risk of over-crushing that can destroy precision bearings.

Manufactured from aerospace-grade aluminum and finished with black anodizing for corrosion resistance and visual clarity, the hub bearing crush spacer measures 3.45 inches in overall length with a 0.75-inch outer diameter, making it a compact yet robust solution for tight sprint car and midget hub assemblies. The anodized finish protects against salt, moisture, and caustic brake fluid while maintaining dimensional stability under the thermal cycling common in short-track racing. Its lightweight construction—just 0.07 pounds—contributes nothing to unsprung mass, keeping your performance envelope focused on suspension geometry and tire contact rather than rotational inertia.

Sprint car and midget drivers who demand consistency will appreciate the elimination of bearing preload variability that plagues field-assembled spacers. Installation is straightforward during hub rebuilds: simply position the crush spacer between the inner and outer bearing races before final axle nut torque, then verify proper preload with a spindle nut torque wrench. Whether you're running weekly division racing or traveling to regional events, this Ti22 Performance component ensures your front end geometry remains dialed in without bearing degradation or excessive drag that costs you lap time and fuel economy.
