Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if this 8mm bearing is compatible with my kart?
A: This bearing is designed for metric king pin assemblies. Please verify that your king pin bolt diameter is exactly 8mm and that your spindle housing accepts a 22mm outer diameter bearing. If your spindle requires a larger bolt, you may need the 10mm version.
Q: How often should I replace my king pin bearings?
A: We recommend inspecting your bearings before every race weekend. If you notice any "notchiness," play, or resistance when turning the spindle by hand, it is time to replace them to ensure smooth steering input.
Q: Do these bearings require lubrication?
A: While these bearings are built for durability, applying a light, high-quality synthetic grease or dry lubricant can help displace moisture and debris, further extending the life of the bearing under harsh track conditions.
Q: Can I use this bearing on both sides of the kart?
A: Yes, the KM306 is a universal fit for both the left and right side spindles, provided your kart uses a standard 8mm metric king pin setup.
