This steel tie rod assembly with ball links replaces standard plastic turnbuckles on HPI Baja style buggies, offering a tougher linkage option for off-road use. It is intended for steering and suspension linkage duties where reduced flex is desired.
Installation notes: remove the stock ends and install the ball-link assembly, making sure left and right lengths and thread directions are mirrored. Simple hex keys and pliers are usually all that is needed; always run the linkage through its full travel to avoid binding. Do not reuse any ball links that show damage.
Tuning role: steel tie rods help keep steering alignment under heavy recoil and rough terrain, providing a firmer mechanical connection for precise turnbuckle trimming. This item is designed for hobby-level upgrades to steering and suspension setup on RC models.
Replace worn linkages or add rigidity to sharpen steering feel; confirm the SBJ160 fits your Baja chassis before finishing installation.
