Yokomo YOKD117 - Precision Aluminum Centre Link for Drift  [YOKD117]

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.

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