Precision adjustable upper tie rod for Yeti XL steering

This aluminium front adjustable upper tie rod is engineered as a high-tolerance RC replacement for the Axial Racing Yeti XL steering assembly. Supplied as a 1 pr set, the component targets improved setup repeatability and precise control over front geometry for tuning and competition use.

Functioning as a tuning element in the front steering linkage, the rod permits fine length adjustment to modify toe and steering centring with accuracy. In workshop tuning this lets technicians adapt handling characteristics for differing track surfaces and tyre choices. The CNC-friendly aluminium construction reduces compliance relative to stock plastic parts, increasing stiffness under steering loads.

Installation requires standard linkage tools: replace the original upper tie rods with the adjustable units, confirm rod end and thread compatibility with existing hardware, and equalise lengths side to side before final toe adjustment. Validate full suspension and steering travel post-install to detect any interference and confirm smooth articulation.

What tolerance should I expect on the rod length?

Manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances, these adjustable rods allow repeatable length settings; verify lengths against your chassis reference points during setup.

Are the rod ends compatible with standard Yeti XL ball cups?

The design matches common Yeti XL ball end fittings, but check thread pitch and ball cup fit before final installation to ensure correct engagement.

What maintenance is recommended?

Inspect threads and rod ends periodically for wear, keep connections clean, and re-torque locknuts after initial running to maintain consistent geometry.

Can these be used for competition setups?

Yes, the precision adjustment and reduced compliance make them suitable for tuned competition setups where consistent steering geometry is required.
