Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I determine if this 12.5-inch tie rod is the correct size for my kart?
A: Measure your current tie rod from center-to-center of the rod ends. If your setup requires a 12.5-inch length to achieve proper geometry and steering alignment, this rod is the correct fit. Always ensure your steering rack and spindles are centered before finalizing your length selection.
Q: Does this tie rod come with rod ends included?
A: No, this product is for the tie rod shaft only. The images provided are for context to show how the rod integrates into your steering system. You will need to reuse your existing 3/8-inch rod ends or purchase new ones separately.
Q: How does this tie rod help with bump steer?
A: By providing a rigid, high-quality connection, this tie rod minimizes flex in the steering linkage. When combined with proper adjustment, it helps maintain consistent toe settings as the suspension travels over curbs, resulting in more predictable handling and smoother cornering.
