HPI Baja Steel Tie Rod with Ball Links SBJ160 by GPM  [SBJ160]

Heavy-duty steel tie rod for HPI Baja

This steel tie rod assembly with ball links is a scale replacement for HPI Baja platforms, offering a metal alternative to typical plastic linkages. It is intended for steering and suspension linkage use, built to resist wear and keep steering geometry more stable under load.

Installation notes: remove the factory tie rod ends and fit the ball-link assembly, taking care to match left and right lengths and thread directions. Basic hand tools such as hex drivers and pliers are sufficient, and finish the setup with a motion check to confirm there is no binding. Discard and replace any damaged ball links rather than attempting repairs.

Tuning role: upgrading to steel tie rods reduces flex compared with plastic parts, helping steering alignment survive harder driving and allowing finer turnbuckle adjustments. This component is intended for hobby-level steering and suspension tuning on RC models only.

Use this steel tie rod to replace worn linkage parts or to add rigidity for more precise steering feedback; confirm fitment on your Baja chassis before final installation.
