Steering link replacements tailored to MP9 TKI4

The IF489B set supplies two 4x50mm steering rods specifically for the Inferno MP9 TKI4 chassis, serving as replacement link rods to reinstate proper steering operation. They are intended for use when original rods become bent or show wear.

Fitment and role: these rods transfer servo motion to the steering knuckles, so accurate length and correct thread orientation are needed to preserve toe and overall steering geometry. Fit them during routine upkeep or when repairing crash damage to restore handling balance.

Installation notes: confirm rod ends fit your ball studs and engage threads by hand to prevent cross-threading. Replace both sides if wear is visible, then check steering throw and toe after refitment. Tighten to a secure setting but avoid over-tightening ball cups to stop binding.

MP9 TKI4 users can rely on the IF489B pair as a straightforward spare to keep steering geometry consistent across track and setup sessions.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho 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 steering problems do these rods fix

They replace bent or fatigued links that cause erratic steering, uneven toe, or wandering; fitting new rods restores correct geometry.

Are these identical to Kyosho original parts for MP9 TKI4

The IF489B set matches the specification for the Inferno MP9 TKI4; verify dimensions against the items you remove to confirm fit.

Any advice for engaging threads correctly

Start threads by hand to ensure alignment, avoid cross-threading, and only use tools for final securement. Consider a light thread locker where appropriate.

What should I check after a test run

Reinspect rod ends for looseness, confirm no play at the ball studs, and recheck toe and steering feel after running.
