Default bolt size

i see on sites that adjustable panhards and lower control arms use 3/4'' rod ends. but the stock bolts are 12mm(1/2) right? how does that workout? a sleeve used to down size the hole?

the rod end hole is 3/4 but the spacer hole is the size of the stock bolt.

do the spohn ends have a sleev running through them for the size bolt needed and then the spacers butting up against the rod end to keep from moving or are the spacers actually going into the end as well? on the site it just looks like a regular spacer and not a step spacer?

Not only do they act as a bushing, they also work as spacers to fill the full width of the stock mount AND they allow the rod end to articulate without the heim housing hitting the mount.

All the of them have step spacer but spohn's just doesnt cover the whole rod end. If you dont have the step the rod end would move around on the bolt.

the two spacers go over the sleeve which kinda makes it a step spacer
