DP-RS13SP Front Lower Arm Rod End Adapter 4.5mm (17mm) - RD-008FA17 Yokomo  [RD-008FA17]

Aluminium rod end replacement

This 4.5mm aluminium rod end adapter is supplied as a direct-replacement item for front lower arm linkages, matching the common 17mm overall turnbuckle length so mounting points remain unchanged.

The aluminium construction reduces rotating mass versus steel rod-end hardware, which can slightly alter transient steering response and feel when fitted as part of a front-end tuning package. Items are packed in a two-piece set so both sides can be renewed during routine service.

Fitting is standard for turnbuckle/rod-end assemblies: remove the existing rod ends, confirm thread compatibility and engagement, fit the aluminium adapter, and then verify endplay and linkage alignment before running the car. Inspect seating and re-check after the initial test run.

Manufacturer compatibility lists DP-RS13SP along with a range of DP, SDR and DPR chassis families including DP-YD2 and DP-GR86 variants; consult the official parts list or your chassis manual to confirm exact matches before purchase.
