HPI Baja 5x10 Bearing for Steering Assembly by GPM BJ048BEARING  [BJ048BEARING]

Steering bearings for HPI Baja

This GPM aftermarket set supplies four 5x10 bearings intended for the steering assembly of HPI Baja scale RC vehicles. The kit replaces worn bearings that introduce play or binding in the steering linkage, restoring smoother wheel input and more predictable handling at hobby scale.

Installation overview: remove the steering hubs or knuckles, extract the old bearings, press or gently fit the new 5x10 bearings into the hub bores, then reassemble and check for free rotation and minimal lateral play. Verify fitment at the hub and kingpin interfaces and trim any dirt or grit from mating surfaces before final assembly.

Tuning role: fresh bearings reduce friction and looseness in the steering train, helping you maintain consistent steering response during practice runs and track sessions. Periodic inspection and replacement of steering bearings is a low-cost way to keep steering feel consistent without altering mechanical geometry.
