Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I determine if this 210mm tie rod is the right size for my kart?
A: The 210mm length is an overall measurement. To ensure compatibility, measure your current tie rod tube from end to end. If your current setup requires more or less adjustment range, you may need to adjust your tie rod end depth or consider a different length tube.
Q: Does this tie rod come with the tie rod ends included?
A: No, this product is the tie rod tube only. It is designed to be used with standard 8mm x 1.25 right-hand and left-hand threaded tie rod ends.
Q: Why is the hexagonal shape better than a round tube?
A: The hexagonal shape allows you to use a wrench to easily rotate the tube while it is installed on the kart. This makes fine-tuning your toe-in and camber settings much faster and more precise without needing to remove the tie rod ends.
Q: How do I maintain the tie rod to prevent seizing?
A: Because this tube features a silver corrosion-resistant finish, it holds up well in track conditions. However, it is good practice to periodically clean the threads and apply a light anti-seize lubricant to the tie rod end threads to ensure they remain easy to adjust throughout the racing season.
