Steering bearing replacement for Baja

This aftermarket kit provides four 5x10 bearings suitable for the steering assembly on HPI Baja scale RC vehicles. The bearings replace worn units that can allow play or binding, helping to return steadier steering feel and better directional control on varied terrain.

Fitting guide: remove the steering hubs or knuckles, extract the old bearings, then press or carefully fit the new 5x10 bearings into the hub bores. Reassemble the steering components and check for free wheel rotation and minimal lateral movement. Clean mating surfaces and kingpin areas before final assembly to ensure correct seating.

Why fit new bearings: fresh bearings cut friction and mechanical slack in the steering train, helping sustain consistent wheel response during practice and race sessions. Regular checks and replacement are a simple maintenance step to keep steering predictable.

They fit Baja models that accept 5x10 bearings in the steering hubs; verify your hub bore size if unsure.
Replacing all worn steering bearings together ensures even steering response, though you can replace only the damaged units if identified.
Confirm bearings seat flush, check kingpin alignment, verify minimal side play, and perform a test run to ensure steering feels consistent.
