Steering centre link built for 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 aimed at modellers comfortable with basic suspension tasks: remove the stock centre link, compare mounting hole spacing and overall length, then move over any ball studs or mounting hardware. Check for smooth movement through the steering arc before tightening to avoid binding. Standard hand tools like hex keys and pliers will usually suffice.

As a tuning upgrade, an aluminum centre link alters stiffness and torsional properties relative to plastic parts, delivering a steadier steering feel under cornering loads. Combine it with small toe and ackermann tweaks to refine drift lines and steering balance on your chassis.

Specifications

  • Item Aluminum steering center link (RC scale)
  • Material Aluminum
  • Model Number YOKD117
  • Compatibility Verify chassis fit and mounting dimensions before installation

Select the YOKD117 for improved steering consistency in drift applications, and always double-check fitment prior to finalising the install.

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.
Yes, aluminum offers greater resistance to wear and flex compared with typical plastic links, which can improve long-term steering consistency under drift conditions.
The description does not list supplied fasteners. Plan to keep and reuse your existing studs and screws where they match, or obtain compatible replacements if needed.
The link itself is a mechanical element; geometry changes come from different stiffness and potential minor length variances. Confirm mounting geometry and tune toe and ackermann to achieve your preferred drift behaviour.
Compare hole centres and overall length to your original part, check thread types for ball studs, and manually cycle the steering to ensure full travel without interference.
