This aluminium steering assembly rod is an aftermarket linkage designed for the Axial Yeti chassis and identified as YT049. Supplied as a single replacement, it provides a metal alternative to plastic rods to help reduce deflection under load.
Installation replaces the stock rod and mounts to the existing steering endpoints; confirm ball/socket engagement and full suspension articulation during fitting. The unit is supplied as 1 pcs and is intended for hobby RC vehicle use only.
Impact on setup: the component does not change servo calibration or electronics. Its function is mechanical, lowering compliance between the servo output and wheel hubs to stabilise steering inputs and improve repeatability in demanding driving conditions.
