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

Durable steel tie rod for HPI Baja chassis

This steel tie rod and ball-link set is a replacement part for HPI Baja vehicles, offering a metal option instead of standard plastic linkages. It is intended for steering and suspension linkage work, aimed at improving geometry consistency under load.

Installation notes: detach the original tie rod ends and fit the ball-link assembly, ensuring left and right lengths and thread directions are matched. Use basic tools such as hex drivers and pliers and complete a full travel check to avoid binding. Replace any ball links that show damage rather than attempting repairs.

Tuning role: a steel tie rod reduces unwanted flex, helping the steering maintain alignment during demanding driving and enabling more exact turnbuckle adjustments. This part is for hobbyists performing steering and suspension tweaks on RC models.

Swap in this steel tie rod to replace worn links or to firm up steering response; always verify the SBJ160 fits your Baja chassis prior to final tightening.
