Axial Racing Yeti XL Front Upper Tie Rod Aluminium Shaft - YTL054P by GPM  [YTL054P]

Front upper aluminium tie rod for Yeti XL

The YTL054P front upper tie rod is a direct-fit aftermarket steering link made for the Axial Racing Yeti XL platform, built with an aluminium centre shaft and plastic end connectors to balance rigidity and impact tolerance.

Swap in this part when the stock plastic link shows wear or when you want a crisper steering response. The aluminium shaft resists bending under load while the plastic ends act as sacrificial points during knocks.

Installation tips and tuning notes:

• Fitment: intended for Axial Racing Yeti XL front upper linkage positions; check for interference with nearby suspension and steering parts before final tightening.
• Fastening: reuse the original hardware or choose matching thread-size fasteners; tighten to firm settings without restricting pivot movement.
• Tuning: replacing the stock link with this aluminium-shaft tie rod reduces steering flex and makes toe adjustments hold more reliably.
• Maintenance: after impacts inspect the plastic end fittings for play and replace them if wear appears to avoid loose steering.
