Yokomo YOKD117 Steering Centre Link, Aluminium Drift Upgrade  [YOKD117]

Aluminium centre link tailored for RC drifting

The Yokomo YOKD117 is an RC-scale aluminum steering center link intended as a durable replacement for common plastic center links in drift setups. It is designed to be a direct-fit mechanical component that influences steering geometry and response when installed in compatible drift package assemblies. The description here focuses on installation considerations and tuning roles rather than claiming universal fitment.

Fitting is standard for anyone versed in basic suspension work: remove the original centre link, compare mounting hole spacing and overall length with the YOKD117, and transfer or replace any ball studs or linkage hardware as required. Always check that the steering runs smoothly through its range before final tightening to prevent binding. Basic hand tools are normally all that is required.

As a tuning component, an aluminium centre link changes stiffness and torsional behaviour compared with plastic equivalents, offering a more consistent steering feel under load. Use this part alongside cautious toe and ackermann tweaks to refine drift angles and steering response on your chassis.

Choose the YOKD117 if you want a firmer, more predictable steering linkage for drifting; confirm compatibility with your chassis before fitting.
