Axial Racing Yeti XL aluminium front upper tie rod by GPM YTL054P  [YTL054P]

Aluminium front upper tie rod for Yeti XL

This GPM YTL054P front upper tie rod is an RC-scale steering link intended for the Axial Racing Yeti XL platform, built with an aluminium shaft and plastic end connectors to balance rigidity and impact tolerance. It replaces the stock front upper linkage to restore or modify steering geometry without implying any full-size vehicle application.

Use this part when you need a firmer steering connection for tighter steering response or when the original plastic link has been damaged. The aluminium main shaft gives improved straightness under load while the plastic ends provide a degree of sacrificial protection at impact points.

Installation notes and tuning role:

• Fitment: designed for Axial Racing Yeti XL front upper linkage locations, check clearance to surrounding suspension and steering components before final tightening.
• Fastening: use the original hardware or matching thread-size fasteners, torque to a firm but not over-tightened setting to allow intended pivot movement.
• Tuning: changing to this aluminium tie rod can reduce flex in the steering link, which helps with precise steering feel and makes front-end toe adjustments more repeatable.
• Maintenance: inspect the plastic ends for wear after impacts and replace if play develops to avoid steering slop.
