Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at a hitch ball bushing. This hitch ball bushing's simply reduces a 1 1/4" diameter hitch ball hole to a 1" hitch ball hole. The reason why this is important, or the reason why this is used, is because a lot of times people have a ball mount, and then they don't have an appropriate sized hitch ball. What this does is this allows you to use the hitch ball with a 1" diameter shank on a hitch ball that has a 1 1/4" diameter hole. That's why a reducer's important, simply reduces the hole from an 1 1/4" down to 1".It's made from a durable steel construction, the zinc finishing to resist rust and the corrosion. The overall measurement edge-to-edge going this direction is about 3/4." Edge-to-edge going this direction is an 1 1/4".
Then inner edge to inner edge is 1".That's gonna do it for today's look at the hitch ball bushing or hitch ball hole reducer.

Reduce a 1-1/4" ball mount hole to accommodate a 1" hitch ball shank.Just what I needed
I bought a new hitch 16,000 lb and new ball didn't think about ball bolt diameter being smaller size so I had to order the bushing to go from a 1 1/4 " to a 1" hole so ball didn't slide a round in the hitch , put it together a used it yesterday worked great pulling the trailer no problems.
I ordered the WDH after trying towing with just a sway bar for our Honda Pilot - Airstream Sport22. Once setup the rig now tows level and is quite a bit more stable.
The hitch is very well constructed and the directions were fairly easy to follow, I decided to flip the link plate even though the coupler was top mounted it was located at the bottom of the A -frame. Per the directions you will need to retorque the fasteners, I did this after a couple of short trips 10-25 miles. After an 825 mile trip only the angle set bolt needed a little more tightening.
One thing to note, the hitch does include a bushing for a 1" ball shaft.
Fast shipping and products were as described on the site. The convert-a ball will handy for pulling different trailers with one hitch set up.
I had traded campers and was setting up my hitch to tow my new camper and discovered I had to change the ball which had a smaller dia. shaft. Ordered this from etrailer and it arrived very quickly and was high quality. Worked just like I needed it to.
Bushing reduces 1/1/4 inch hole on ball mount for 1 inch shank on 2 inch ball. Well made not cheap. Fit seemed a bit looser than I expected, but that should avoid getting stuck if I try to remove the ball. And way better than having to pound or press together.
Could fit less sloppy
products were as described, and arrived as promised, etrailers quality products and reasonable shipping charges make it one of the best values on the net.
Great, was a hard to find part etrailer.com had it and shipping was fast.
Fits perfectly in the aluminum drop hitch with a 1-1/8” hole.
Helped install ball on equalizer hitch, Tolerances were good and it fit well
Product was exactly as ordered but was about 1/16 inch longer than the draw bar tongue thickness. I will need to grind the bushing to allow mounting the ball to the drawbar. Otherwise fine.
Worked great, etrailer.com was great as well!
It didn't fit I had to grind it down but maybe my hitch was a little smaller diameter?
Must have for a shaft smaller than ball mount. Works great.
Perfectly fit as a replacement for a boat trailer made in the 1960's.
everything it promised to be.
I had purchased a ball with 1" shaft and a ball mount with a 1 1/4" hole this was the perfect fit easy assemby
Item was missing from first shipment but, etrailer sent one right out. Great customer service. Will definitely purchase from them again.
Only way to adapt a 1" shank ball to 1 1/4 hitch.
Ball and spacer have worked out great
Does what it's supposed to do....reduces the ball mount hole opening to fit the ball shank.
Works and fits as intended.
I installed this in my 2018 Murano a year ago and it has worked perfectly. Was very easy to install and does its job. Thanks!
I placed my order with Vince and was completely satisfied with the experience. Simple, fast, and accurate information.
