This Kyosho FAW318 turnbuckle rod set provides an aluminum replacement for the Fazer D2 on-road drift chassis' steering and rear upper linkages. The adjustable rods let you lock in precise lengths and deliver a crisper steering feel compared with the original plastic components, aiding consistent steering response.
Made from A7075 aluminum and finished in red anodize, the set improves torsional rigidity between servo output and the steering knuckles as well as between rear uprights and upper link mounts. The stiffer links make steering inputs more predictable during drift maneuvers and precise runs.
The kit is intended for the Fazer D2 chassis. Included items are the steering/servo turnbuckle and the rear upper rods; check existing linkage geometry if your vehicle has aftermarket parts so fitment is confirmed before installation.
Installation hints: thread components by hand initially and check alignment, then secure fasteners to the recommended torque. Use light thread-lock on mixed-metal joints where advised and ensure ball cups articulate without binding. Small length changes will alter toe and steering trim, so modify incrementally and test between adjustments.
Care tips: after impacts inspect the anodized finish for nicks and discard any bent rod rather than attempting to bend it back, as repair can weaken the metal. Regularly check rod-end play and fastener tightness to preserve setup accuracy.
FAW318 offers a reliable aluminum upgrade to the Fazer D2 linkage system, giving a stable platform for tuning steering and rear toe settings.
