Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do I need different thicknesses of washers for my king pins?
A: Using a combination of 0.060-inch and 0.030-inch washers allows you to make micro-adjustments to your spindle height. This is critical for fine-tuning your kart's caster and camber settings, which directly impacts how your tires contact the track surface.
Q: Are these washers compatible with all kart chassis?
A: This kit is specifically engineered for 1/2-inch king pins and is optimized for 2015 and newer PRC and Charger chassis. While they may fit other 1/2-inch systems, they are designed to meet the specific geometry requirements of these frames.
Q: How many washers should I use on each side?
A: This kit includes enough hardware to service both spindles on your kart. The exact number of washers used per side will depend on your specific setup needs; use the 0.060-inch washers for primary spacing and the 0.030-inch AN washers for final, precision adjustments to achieve your target geometry.
Q: Should I replace my king pin washers regularly?
A: Yes. Over time, washers can become deformed or worn due to the constant vibration and load of racing. Inspect them during your routine maintenance checks; if they show signs of flattening or damage, replace them to ensure your steering geometry remains consistent.
