This part is on my newer model of a HYPER GO 1:14 High Speed Car. I'd like to replace the same two piece stainless steel pivot ball assembly on my older model Car.
I can't find the same one in the Image below. I'd appreciate if a member here could locate one. :thumbs-up:

Attached are three new images.
a. One is the stainless steel pivot pin removed from the front swing arm. It appears to have a hex screw insert at the top of the steering linkage. I tried to remove the hex insert from the pivot pin and it would not budge without stripping it. :mad:
b. Second is an image of the earlier model of this car. The pivot pin configuration has a common hex metal screw-bolt hold in that assembly into the steering linkage.
c. Third is a diagram of the complete steering assembly.

So, my intent is to replace the earlier pivot pin parts with the new stainless steel pivot pin if I can find the stainless steel pivot pin with a removable top hex screw-bolt.

This kit might be it. :thumbs-up:

The rods I posted may fit both 14 & 16th. I don't know.
Seems like the parts bag you posted would indicate they do fit both scales but its still a guess. 👍
Replacing it all with upgraded balls, hardware and rod ends will work too. 😎
