Tamiya XV01 Spring Steel Completed Tie Rod Upgrade - XV160S by GPM  [XV160S]

Tamiya XV01 steering link upgrade

This aftermarket spring steel completed tie rod set is produced for the Tamiya XV01 platform and supplied as a single set. It replaces the stock plastic or lighter steel links on XV01 chassis to provide a direct metal connection between steering components and improved day-to-day durability.

Fitment is specific to the XV01 family, so confirm your car uses the standard XV01 steering geometry before installation. The completed tie rod arrives pre-assembled for a straightforward swap; basic hand tools are sufficient to remove the old links and secure the new set. Check thread engagement and locknut seating during fitment to maintain correct alignment.

From a setup perspective, switching to spring steel completed tie rods helps keep steering input consistent and lowers the chance of permanent bend under repeated impacts, making them a sensible upgrade for drivers prioritising reliable on-road handling and suspension behaviour.
