Our ball joint and tie rod taper reamers are ground to true automotive tapers in 1.200, 1-1/2, 2, and 2-1/2 inches per foot. 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 from premium M2 high-speed steel and built to withstand repeated use in 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.
