Yokomo YOKD117 - Aluminum steering center link  [YOKD117]

Aluminum steering center link for RC drift

The Yokomo YOKD117 is an RC-scale aluminum steering center link intended as a durable replacement for common plastic center links in drift setups. It is designed to be a direct-fit mechanical component that influences steering geometry and response when installed in compatible drift package assemblies. The description here focuses on installation considerations and tuning roles rather than claiming universal fitment.

Installation is straightforward for hobbyists familiar with basic suspension work: remove the existing center link, compare lengths and mounting points, and transfer any necessary ball studs or linkage hardware. Verify alignment and free movement through the steering arc before final tightening to avoid binding. Hand tools such as hex drivers and needle-nose pliers are typically sufficient for the job.

As a tuning item, an aluminum center link changes the stiffness and torsional behaviour of the steering linkage compared with plastic components, offering a more consistent steering feel under load. Use it in conjunction with incremental toe and ackermann adjustments to dial in desired drift characteristics on your chassis.

Choose the YOKD117 when seeking a stiffer, more predictable steering linkage for RC drift setups, and confirm fitment to your chassis before fitting.
