Fazer D2 Steering & Rear Upper Aluminum Rods - Kyosho FAW318  [KY-FAW318]

Replacement Aluminum Turnbuckles for Fazer D2

The Kyosho FAW318 turnbuckle rod set is an upgrade crafted for the Fazer D2 on-road drift chassis, supplying adjustable steering and rear upper rods to replace original plastic linkages. These turnbuckles are intended to provide a firmer connection and more consistent setup behavior when tuning handling.

Each rod is machined from A7075 aluminum and given a red anodized finish for protection and aesthetics. The higher-strength alloy reduces torsional compliance compared with plastic components, helping the steering and rear link geometry hold under load during drift and accuracy-focused driving.

Fitment is specific to the Fazer D2. The kit contains the steering/servo turnbuckle and the pair of rear upper rods; if your vehicle has been modified, check the linkage geometry to ensure correct fit prior to fitting.

Fitting advice: start by hand-threading the turnbuckles and aligning rod ends, then secure to specified tightness. Apply light thread-lock on steel-to-aluminum connections where recommended and confirm that ball cups articulate freely to avoid binding. Make incremental length changes and verify handling after each adjustment.

Upkeep: inspect the anodized surfaces for any deformation after impacts and replace bent rods rather than attempting to reform them, since doing so can compromise the metal's fatigue resistance. Regularly check for end play and secure fasteners to maintain consistent performance.

The FAW318 kit provides a direct aluminum alternative for Fazer D2 linkage points, offering a stable foundation for steering and rear toe adjustments on on-road drift chassis.
