Front lower arm rod-end adaptor

This aluminium 4.5mm rod end adapter is supplied as a direct replacement for front lower arm linkages and retains the 17mm overall length used by many factory turnbuckle setups so existing geometry is preserved.

Aluminium offers a lower-mass alternative to steel rod ends and can alter steering transient response when used as part of front-end tuning. The item ships as a two-piece pack to allow replacement of both sides during routine maintenance.

To install: remove the existing rod ends, verify thread compatibility and engagement depth, install the aluminium adapter, and confirm correct endplay and linkage alignment before operating the vehicle. Re-check fastenings after an initial run.

The manufacturer's compatibility listing includes DP-RS13SP and a selection of DP, SDR and DPR chassis lines such as DP-YD2 and DP-GR86 variants; always consult the official parts list or chassis manual to confirm fitment for your model.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

What does the 4.5mm specification mean for my linkage?

The 4.5mm figure refers to the internal bore that accepts the ball or pin diameter, matching the common 4.5mm rod ends used across many touring and drift platforms.

How do I confirm this part fits my chassis variant?

Compare your chassis manual or the official parts list to the manufacturer's compatibility information. Confirm both the 17mm overall length and the thread form before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Any tips for verifying fit after installation?

After fitting, check for unrestricted joint movement, correct steering geometry, and secure seating. Run a short test and re-check fastenings to ensure no loosening has occurred.
