Precision Upgrade for BD9 Steering

The Yokomo RP-102A Titanium Φ4.8 Kingpin Ball is intended to refine the BD9 front end. Machined from titanium for a favourable weight-to-strength ratio, it reduces mass at the upper pivot points to enhance steering accuracy and consistency during competitive running.

Performance Gains from Titanium Components

Using titanium for moving steering parts lowers inertia without compromising toughness. The RP-102A helps the front end respond faster to steering inputs, which can aid consistency lap after lap when setup is dialled in.

Built for Direct BD9 Replacement

These kingpin balls are made to fit BD9 suspension geometry and install with the factory mounting arrangement. The reduced rotating mass supports steadier mid-corner behaviour and helps maintain tyre contact through quick direction changes.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo 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.

Will fitting this alter my existing setup settings?

Expect slightly sharper initial steering; minor tweaks to toe or ackermann may be required to restore your preferred balance. Start with small adjustments and test incrementally.

Do I need to lubricate the kingpin ball?

A light application of suitable grease on contact interfaces can prevent noise and ensure smooth motion. Avoid excess that could attract grit.

Are there any racing rules to consider before using it?

Some race classes restrict materials or part modifications. Check your event regulations before competing with non-standard components.
