Precision steering links for MP9 TKI4

The IF489B steering rod set consists of two 4x50mm links designed for the Inferno MP9 TKI4 chassis, intended to restore accurate steering linkage operation. These parts are used when bent or worn rods have degraded steering feel or accuracy.

Fitment and role: the rods link the servo output to steering knuckles and must match original length and thread orientation to preserve toe and steering geometry. Replace damaged links during maintenance or when reinstating original handling after an impact.

Installation notes: verify rod end compatibility with your ball studs and start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading. Replace matching links if wear is present, then check steering throw and toe after installation. Tighten fittings to a secure fit while avoiding over-clamping ball cups.

For MP9 TKI4 drivers the IF489B pair is a convenient spare to maintain consistent steering geometry across track sessions and setup changes.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho 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 swapping to new rods restore steering accuracy

Replacing bent or worn rods with straight 4x50mm links restores the intended geometry and typically improves steering precision.

Are special tools required to fit IF489B

Basic hand tools and the correct sized wrenches are sufficient; avoid excessive torque on the ball cups to prevent damage.

How can I check for binding after installation

Move the steering through full left and right travel by hand, observe ball cup articulation, and ensure there is no single-point resistance.

Can these links be used when fine-tuning handling

They retain original geometry; for tuning, alter link lengths deliberately and retune toe and steering throw to suit handling goals.
