This steering tie rod is a direct replacement designed for the Axial Racing Yeti XL platform and is catalogued as AX31033, supplied as a 1 pr set. The primary load member is spring-steel while plastic ball ends provide articulation points that avoid metal-on-metal wear.
The component provides the steering linkage between servo output and steering knuckle, enabling fine adjustments to toe and centring. Spring-steel construction is selected for elastic recovery characteristics under impact loading, helping the link retain functional alignment after minor deformations.
Installation is a basic swap of the existing tie rod pair. After fitting, confirm ball-end seating and full joint articulation, then verify steering geometry. Routine inspection of the plastic ball ends is recommended; replace the tie rod set when play develops to maintain precise steering response.
