Precision 5mm Ball for GT500 Linkage Tuning

This 5mm steel suspension ball is an RC-scale spare intended for GT500-compatible configurations. The steel material helps maintain tight linkage tolerances that affect steering and suspension response.

Fitment and role: used as the moving ball inside suspension joints and compact linkage points, it contributes to predictable steering input and consistent suspension geometry. Replacing fatigued balls restores sharp handling and repeatable setup behavior.

Installation notes: employ the original retainers and mountings for correct seating, move the suspension through its full travel to confirm smooth operation, and monitor for surface wear after aggressive runs. Steel is preferred where precise feedback outweighs weight savings.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Will switching to this steel ball change steering feel?

Yes. Steel reduces flex and wear compared with softer options, which typically yields crisper steering feedback and steadier suspension geometry under load.

Should I upgrade all linkage balls at once for setup consistency?

For consistent handling, replace matching balls across the same system so geometry and friction levels remain uniform during tuning.

Are lighter alloy balls a suitable alternative?

Lighter alloys reduce weight but may wear faster or deform under heavy contact. Steel is chosen where durability and stable geometry are priorities.
