What are the expected handling changes after fitting these aluminium links

Expect reduced rear end flex and crisper steering feedback; aluminium links transfer more input so tuning of steering end points may be required.

Are these tie rods compatible with aftermarket ball ends

They accept standard ball end hardware used on Vaterra steering links, but confirm thread size and ball stud fitment before assembly.

Recommended checks after initial installation

Verify that all fasteners are torqued correctly, confirm no binding at ball joints, and perform a test run then recheck tightness for secure, consistent performance.
