Yokomo BD-202S5 Asttering Bell Crank 5mm for BD7/BD5 - Steering Bell Crank for On-Road Chassis  [BD-202S5]

Steering bell crank overview

This bell crank is an RC-scale steering linkage part with a 5mm bearing inner diameter, designed for use with Yokomo BD7 and BD5 on-road chassis lines. It serves as the pivot point in the front steering assembly and is intended for hobby use on 1/10 on-road cars.

Compatibility is focused on BD7 and BD5 series chassis where the 5mm bearing bore matches existing steering posts. The component replaces the standard bell crank to provide a consistent bearing interface and predictable pivot action without altering steering geometry.

Installation is straightforward for experienced model technicians: remove the factory bell crank, transfer any necessary spacers or clips, and fit the BD-202S5 onto the steering post using the original hardware. Check for free rotation and proper linkage alignment before testing on-track.

Tuning role: fitting a bell crank with a bearing interface helps reduce binding at the pivot and offers a stable pivot point for incremental steering adjustments. Use it when fine-tuning steering feel, toe response, or when replacing worn steering components.
