Rear upper link details

This spring steel rear upper tie rod is an aftermarket replacement for the Tamiya Wild Willy 2 WR-02 platform, supplied as a 1 pair set carrying the part number WW2057S. It is intended to mount where the upper rear link connects the hub or steering knuckle assemblies on the WR-02 layout.

Fit and function: made to replace original plastic links, the steel option restores geometry and provides a firmer connection for rear suspension tuning. As a direct replacement for the WR-02 rear upper location, it reduces unwanted flex and helps maintain wheel alignment under dynamic loads.

Installation notes: remove the existing rod and refit ball ends or linkage hardware using the model's original pins and screws. No permanent modifications are required; confirm thread engagement and secure ball studs to the recommended tightness for reliable operation.

Care and tuning role: spring steel resists deformation compared with softer materials, making it a practical upgrade for drivers wanting crisper rear response or replacing fatigued components. Regularly inspect ball end condition and keep joint interfaces lightly lubricated.

Yes, stock ball ends and linkage hardware are compatible; transfer them during installation while checking for wear.
The part is a direct replacement so ride height should not change, but the reduced link flex can lead to a firmer rear feel and may require minor setup tweaks.
Spring steel offers resilience and some flex recovery that helps resist bending; aluminium can be stiffer but may be more prone to permanent deformation depending on design.
