This aluminium steering linkage fits the Axial Yeti chassis and is identified as model YT-25005-BK. It replaces the stock plastic tie rods to give a more rigid connection between servo output and steering knuckles, reducing flex under load during technical driving.
Installation follows common Yeti procedures: remove the factory tie rods, swap or fit rod ends as required, and use the original hardware to secure the linkage. Apply a small amount of threadlocker to metal-to-metal threaded joints and verify neutral toe before final tightening. Re-check fasteners after a short break-in run to ensure components have seated properly.
The stiffer aluminum linkage provides a consistent reference point for setup and tuning, particularly when adjusting toe and Ackermann. Because it alters compliance, minor changes to servo endpoints or trim may be necessary. Inspect rod ends periodically and clean joints after dirty runs to maintain reliable steering performance.
