Spacer Mis-Alignment 5/8 -1/2in 1.750in OAL Each

The Spacer Mis-Alignment 5/8 -1/2in 1.750in OAL from WEHRS MACHINE is a precision rod end bushing engineered for marine steering, drive shaft, and linkage systems where bore size reduction and angular tolerance are critical. Built for boaters and marine technicians who demand reliable performance under the dynamic loads of water-based propulsion and control, this bushing solves the common problem of coupling shafts or rod ends with slightly mismatched bore diameters without sacrificing alignment accuracy or structural integrity.

Constructed from high-strength steel with black oxide finish for corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments, the Spacer Mis-Alignment 5/8 -1/2in 1.750in OAL features a stepped bore design that transitions from 5/8-inch to 1/2-inch diameter over its 1.750-inch overall length. The high-misalignment design accommodates angular deflection and minor shaft runout, reducing vibration and extending the service life of connected components. Black oxide plating provides a protective barrier against rust and oxidation, essential for marine applications where exposure to moisture is constant.

This adapter is ideal for retrofit installations, steering column repairs, and outboard or inboard drive system upgrades where OEM bore sizes don't align with available hardware. Marine mechanics, fishing boat operators, and performance boaters rely on WEHRS MACHINE spacers to maintain precision alignment during restoration or modification work. Installation is straightforward—simply position between rod end and mounting surface—and the compact 2.7 x 1.3 x 5.1-inch profile fits most confined engine bays and transom assemblies without interference.
