Rock-Solid Steering Upgrade for Your DF-02

Fit the Tamiya 53865 DF-02 Aluminum Steering Link to reduce flex in the steering assembly and sharpen steering inputs. The aluminium body resists deformation and the integrated press fit bearing improves centering and responsiveness. This upgrade suits drivers who want reliable steering under hard use.

Does the aluminium link need shims or adapters?

No adapters are normally required for standard DF-02 setups. The Tamiya 53865 is made to match the factory mounting points and bore sizes.

Will this help if my steering feels sloppy?

Yes, replacing worn or flexible plastic links with this aluminium unit reduces play and helps the steering track more accurately, improving turn-in and mid corner stability.

Any tips for long term use in dusty environments?

Clean the link and bearing regularly and use a light dust-resistant lubricant to protect moving surfaces while avoiding heavy greases that trap grit.
