Refined Front-Link Performance

The Tamiya 54161 Low Friction Suspension Ball Set is aimed at F104 and F103GT chassis users who want steadier, smoother front suspension action. The anodised aluminium balls help reduce binding and improve rotational consistency in the front link joints.

Compatibility Details

The set includes two 7mm and two 8mm suspension balls intended for the Tamiya F104 and F103GT. They are also suitable for use with the F103RM and the F103 15th Anniversary Chassis Kit when combined with the Formula Link-Type Front Suspension (Item 53258).

Are these balls a direct replacement for stock parts?

They fit the same mounting points used by the F104 and F103GT front linkage. Check clearances during trial fitting before final assembly to confirm fit with your setup.

Do they affect steering geometry?

The balls themselves do not change geometry, but by reducing friction they can make steering inputs more consistent. Any geometry changes must come from link lengths or mounting settings.

How durable are the anodised aluminium balls?

Anodised aluminium offers a wear-resistant surface suited to road and track use. Regular inspection is recommended if you run on abrasive surfaces.

Will dirt affect their performance?

Dirt and grit can increase wear and reduce smoothness. Keep the joints clean and perform light maintenance after offroad or dusty runs.

Where can I find the related Formula Link-Type part?

The Formula Link-Type Front Suspension is Item 53258. Use that part if you need to adapt these balls for the F103RM or F103 15th Anniversary chassis kits.
