Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I determine if the 16.25-inch length is correct for my kart?

A: Measure your current tie rod from center-to-center of the rod ends. If your current setup is too short or you are adjusting your front-end geometry for a wider track width, this 16.25-inch rod provides the extra reach needed for precise steering linkage alignment.

Q: Does this tie rod come with rod ends included?

A: No, the tie rod is sold as the steel rod component only. You will need to source compatible 3/8-inch rod ends (heim joints) that match your specific steering spindle and pitman arm requirements.

Q: What maintenance is required for this steel tie rod?

A: While the surface finish is designed to resist rust, it is best practice to wipe the rod down with a light lubricant or corrosion inhibitor after racing in humid or wet conditions to maintain smooth threading and prevent oxidation.
