This item is a two-piece set of precision-moulded plastic ball ends made for TRAXXAS MAXX linkages bearing the TXMS160S designation. The parts are supplied as direct replacements to restore worn or damaged steering and linkage joints.
Ball ends act as the kinematic pivot between linkage rods and steering components; wear increases free play and degrades steering response and suspension behaviour. Replacing degraded ball ends returns intended geometry and helps preserve predictable handling characteristics.
Installation follows standard linkage procedures: remove the worn ball end, thread the replacement onto the linkage rod or fitting, confirm correct seating and unobstructed articulation, and then secure any retaining hardware to the factory or previous torque settings. Inspect adjacent components for wear while servicing the linkage.
Keep these spare components on hand to limit downtime and maintain steering accuracy during regular servicing.
