This tie rod set is a direct replacement for 1/18 scale TRAXXAS LaTrax SST steering links. It is specified for hobbyists seeking a durable upgrade that reduces thread wear while preserving adjustability for roll and toe geometry.
Material and role: formed from heat-treated spring steel to resist permanent deformation from impact, the links serve both front and rear positions to ensure repeatable steering geometry. Increased torsional stiffness aids in maintaining toe settings during dynamic loads such as jumps and hard cornering.
Installation notes: replace the factory links on a like-for-like basis, ensure full thread engagement and correct thread orientation prior to final fastening, and verify ball joint freeplay after installation. Avoid over-torquing the link connectors and confirm there is no binding through the full range of suspension travel before operation.
