Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if the 275mm length is right for my kart?
A: The 275mm length is typically used for karts requiring a wider steering geometry. We recommend measuring your current tie rod from center-to-center of the rod ends to ensure this length matches your specific chassis requirements.
Q: Does this tie rod come with rod ends included?
A: No, this product is for the hex tie rod tube only. You will need to reuse your existing 8mm rod ends or purchase new ones separately to complete the assembly.
Q: How do I adjust the steering using the hex design?
A: The hex shape allows you to use an open-ended wrench to rotate the tube easily while the rod ends are still installed. Because it features right-hand threads on one end and left-hand threads on the other, rotating the tube will lengthen or shorten the assembly without needing to disconnect the steering linkage.
Q: Is this tie rod compatible with all kart steering systems?
A: This rod is designed for standard 8mm steering components. Please verify that your steering knuckles and pitman arm utilize 8mm hardware before installation.
