This is an RC-scale steering assembly rod produced for Axial Racing Yeti platforms, supplied under GPM part GYT049. It corresponds to the AX31122 item name and is presented as a single replacement rod intended for use where the original steering linkage needs renewal or a stiffer composite option is preferred.
Functionally this rod serves as the steering linkage between the servo output and the steering knuckles, providing mechanical connection and alignment control for the front end. The listed Graphite+Aluminium construction is intended to balance rigidity and weight where hobbyists seek consistent steering response without modifying other steering geometry parts.
Installation is straightforward for experienced hobbyists: remove the damaged or worn steering rod, compare lengths and pivot orientations to the original AX31122 reference, transfer any reusable hardware, and secure the new rod in place following standard fastener torque and movement checks. After fitting, confirm free travel of the steering linkage across the full range and verify there is no binding with the suspension or servo travel.
In tuning terms this component is useful when adjusting steering stiffness and feedback. Swapping to a graphite-and-aluminium rod can reduce flex in the linkage path, which helps maintain steering alignment under load and gives a crisper feel useful for track tuning or aggressive off-road runs. As always, adjust toe and servo endpoints after replacement to ensure predictable handling.
Sold as 1 pcs, for RC-scale Axial Racing Yeti models only.
