Axial Racing Yeti XL front adjustable upper tie rod by GPM YTL054  [YTL054]

Front adjustable upper tie rod for Yeti XL

This aluminium front adjustable upper tie rod is designed as an RC-scale replacement or hop-up for the Axial Racing Yeti XL steering assembly. Supplied as a 1 pr set, the component focuses on improving setup repeatability and giving fine control over front-end geometry without implying any full‑scale use.

The part serves a tuning role in the front steering linkage by allowing incremental length adjustment to influence toe and steering centring. In an RC context this helps when dialing in handling for different track conditions or tyre choices. The aluminium construction provides stiffness compared with stock plastic parts, which can reduce flex under steering loads.

Installation is straightforward for hobbyists familiar with front-end linkage work: replace the factory upper tie rods with the adjustable units, confirm ball ends or rod ends match the existing hardware, and set the tie rod lengths evenly side to side before trimming final toe. Check for binding through full suspension travel after installation to ensure clearance and smooth steering operation.

For hobbyists seeking a durable, adjustable front linkage for the Yeti XL, this GPM aluminium upper tie rod offers a direct way to refine steering geometry and reduce compliance from the stock assembly.
