The Yokomo B8-413GH is a hard-type front steering hub carrier made from a graphite-containing resin, designed for BD8 touring car platforms. This higher-rigidity material reduces component flex compared with standard plastic, improving steering precision and consistency through sustained turns.
Supplied as a matched pair, one for each side. Fitment is aimed at BD8-compatible platforms; confirm your chassis code before purchasing. The carrier swaps in for the stock front hub carrier to alter steering response and front-end feel without changing suspension geometry.
Fitment tips: mount the part in the stock BD8 front hub location and reuse the existing bearings and fasteners from the standard assembly. After installation check steering alignment and bearing preload, and ensure the servo horn and tie rods have unimpeded movement.
Performance role: using a stiffer, graphite-reinforced carrier lowers flex under steering forces, giving crisper initial turn-in and more predictable handling mid-corner. Combine this with tyre and suspension setup changes to refine turn-in and balance.
