Technical overview of the GPM WW2160ST turnbuckles

The GPM WW2160ST set supplies six spring steel adjustable turnbuckles tailored to the Tamiya Wild Willy 2 WR-02 link geometry. Spring steel provides high yield strength and fatigue resistance, while the anti-thread feature reduces the risk of self-loosening during sustained impacts. This set is intended for users who want predictable alignment control without altering original suspension geometry.

Engineering notes and practical details

  • Material: Tempered spring steel chosen for resilience under cyclic loading
  • Compatibility: Matched to Tamiya Wild Willy 2 WR-02 suspension attachment points
  • Functionality: Anti-thread configuration improves retention of set positions under vibration
  • Set Contents: Six turnbuckles for front and rear link tuning

What advantages does spring steel give over softer metals?

Spring steel offers higher elastic limit and better fatigue life, meaning turnbuckles retain geometry under repeated load cycles more reliably than softer alloys.

How should I inspect these components during maintenance?

Inspect threads for burrs, verify thread engagement and check for any permanent deformation after heavy impacts. Replace components showing visible fatigue or bent sections.

Are there installation tips to improve longevity?

Use proper tools to avoid marring threads, secure with the recommended torque, and perform a post-run check to confirm there is no loosening. The anti-thread design reduces but does not eliminate the need for routine checks.
