Axial Racing Yeti spring steel anti-thread steering tie rod by GPM YT047S  [YT047S]

Steering link for Yeti

This is an RC-scale steering tie rod manufactured by GPM for the Axial Racing Yeti platform, supplied as a single pair. The assembly combines spring steel rod body with machined aluminium end fittings to resist thread wear where the linkage meets the ball joints and steering knuckles.

Purpose-built as an aftermarket replacement, the part focuses on long-term durability under the low-speed shock and scraping typical in rock racing and trail driving. It acts as the connection between the servo output linkage and the steering assembly, so it influences steering feel and reliability rather than vehicle-level performance.

Installation replaces the stock steering rod using the existing linkage points on the chassis and steering hubs. No proprietary adapters are required; the unit is intended to use the same ball ends and mounting locations as the original tie rod on Yeti platforms. Check your vehicle’s existing linkage length and ball-end spacing before fitting to confirm alignment and steering geometry.

For tuning, this part is primarily a durability upgrade. The spring steel center reduces the chance of stripped threads at the aluminium ends under repeated impacts, while the aluminium terminations provide a firmer mating surface for the ball ends compared with many stock plastic parts.
