Key Features
- Pack of Eight Pieces — This generous quantity gives you multiple spares, meaning you can replace worn rod ends and pivot balls across multiple suspension linkages or have extras on hand for future maintenance without needing to reorder frequently.
- Designed for LST/2 and XXL/2 Models — These rod ends and pivot balls are engineered specifically for compatibility with Losi LST/2 and XXL/2 platforms, ensuring perfect fitment and suspension geometry that matches the original vehicle design precisely.
- Genuine Losi Manufacturing — As an official Losi suspension spare, you're getting components manufactured to the same standards and tolerances as your original equipment, guaranteeing consistent performance and longevity compared to generic alternatives.
- Essential Suspension Maintenance — Rod ends and pivot balls experience significant stress during driving, and replacing them when worn restores smooth steering response, improves suspension articulation, and maintains the precise geometry your RC car UK needs for optimal handling.

Technical Performance
The Losi Rod Ends & Pivot Balls represent quality engineering in suspension maintenance for dedicated RC enthusiasts. These components are manufactured by Losi, a recognised brand in the RC hobby that produces reliable and durable parts designed to withstand the demanding conditions of off-road RC vehicle operation. The rod ends and pivot balls are critical elements in your suspension linkage system, responsible for creating smooth articulated movement between steering rods, suspension arms, and the chassis. When these components become worn, damaged, or loose, they can result in poor steering response, inconsistent handling, and premature wear on other suspension components. The eight-piece pack ensures you have sufficient spares to address multiple wear points across your LST/2 or XXL/2 vehicle, whether you're repairing damage from a heavy crash or performing preventative maintenance after extended use. Built to Losi's OEM specifications, these pivot balls and rod ends maintain the exact geometry and tolerances your vehicle was designed with, ensuring that when you install them, your suspension performs as intended by the engineers at Losi.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are rod ends and pivot balls, and why do I need replacement spares? — Rod ends and pivot balls are small but critical suspension components that connect steering linkages and suspension arms to the chassis and each other. During driving, these parts experience constant stress from impacts, steering inputs, and suspension articulation. Over time, they can wear, crack, or become loose, leading to poor steering response and reduced suspension performance. Having quality replacement spares like the Losi Z-LOSB4020 means you can quickly repair your vehicle and keep it performing at its best.
- Will these rod ends and pivot balls fit my RC car? — These spares are specifically designed for Losi LST/2 and XXL/2 models. Always check your vehicle's exact model before ordering to ensure compatibility. If you're unsure which model you own, consult your vehicle's manual or contact our team of experienced RC enthusiasts at RC Model Shop for guidance.
- How do I know when my rod ends and pivot balls need replacing? — Signs of wear include loose or sloppy steering that feels unresponsive, visible cracks or damage to the plastic or metal components, or a rattling noise from the suspension area. If you've recently crashed or hit something hard, inspecting these components is a good precaution, as internal damage might not be immediately visible.
- Are these genuine Losi parts? — Yes, the Z-LOSB4020 is a genuine Losi suspension spare. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you're buying authentic OEM components manufactured to Losi's exact specifications, not third-party imitations that might compromise your vehicle's performance or durability.
- What tools do I need to replace rod ends and pivot balls? — Replacement typically requires only basic tools such as hex keys or Allen keys, depending on how the components are secured to your suspension linkages. Your Losi vehicle's manual will provide specific guidance on removal and installation procedures.
