Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I determine if the 11.5-inch tie rod is the correct size for my kart?

A: This 11.5-inch tie rod is designed for intermediate wheelbase karts. To verify fitment, measure your current tie rod from center-to-center of the rod ends. If your current setup requires a different length to achieve proper spindle spacing or toe-in settings, you may need to adjust your steering geometry accordingly.

Q: Are the rod ends included with this tie rod?

A: No, the rod ends are sold separately. This allows you to customize your steering setup with your preferred brand or style of rod end while utilizing our high-strength steel rod for the main linkage.

Q: How does this tie rod improve my kart's handling?

A: By using high-tensile steel, this rod resists deformation under heavy cornering loads. This reduces "play" or slop in your steering system, ensuring that your steering inputs are immediate and precise, which leads to more consistent tire contact and improved braking efficiency.
