Metal steering link for Wild Willy 2 WR-02

This WW2047S steering link is an aftermarket replacement for the Tamiya Wild Willy 2 WR-02. Manufactured in spring steel with an anti-thread profile, the part is supplied as a 1pr set (2 pcs) intended for use in WR-02 steering assemblies.

Why fit this part: replacing the factory link with a metal tie rod reduces the chance of stripped threads and provides a stiffer response at the servo, improving steering feedback when driving over rough terrain or under load.

Fitment details: dimensioned to suit the Wild Willy 2 WR-02 steering layout and mounting positions, the rod uses standard rod ends and mounting hardware. It is sold as an aftermarket accessory and is not an OEM component.

Installation guidance: fitting normally involves removing the stock tie rod and installing the spring steel pair, verifying correct thread engagement and alignment, then checking full steering travel for any binding. Reconfirm servo centre and toe after installation and apply thread locking where needed for high-vibration use.

What is the advantage of spring steel here?

Spring steel gives the tie rod toughness and flex resistance that help maintain thread engagement and resist deformation, which keeps steering geometry stable over time.

Is the WW2047S a direct replacement?

Yes, the WW2047S is specified for the WR-02 steering arrangement and is intended to install without alteration to the chassis when using compatible rod ends.

How should I maintain the threads?

Check thread tightness periodically, use a small amount of thread lock if needed, and inspect rod ends for wear after heavy use to maintain reliable steering performance.
