Our American made ball joint and tie rod taper reamers are ground to true automotive tapers in 1.2" TPF, 1.5" TPF, and 2" TPF. These reamers are designed for reaming steering knuckles, pitman arms, and other suspension components to properly seat heavy-duty tie rod ends and ball joints.
XKUT reamers are manufactured in the USA utilizing select premium tool steels and are built to withstand repeated use in the automotive, off-road, racing, agricultural, and fabrication environments. Whether you’re upgrading to GM 1-ton tie rod ends, cutting new tapers for Dana 30, 44, or 60 crossover steering, or building a custom steering system, our precision-ground tools ensure the correct geometry every time.
Use our Taper Reamer Calculator to calculate your taper per foot from measured stud or hole dimensions and automatically determine the correct XKUT reamer for your application. Simply enter the small end, large end, and length of taper—or a known taper per foot—and the calculator will recommend the appropriate ball joint or tie rod reamer based on your measurements.
