Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I determine if the 225mm length is correct for my kart?

A: The 225mm length is a standard mid-range size. To verify, measure your current tie rod from center-to-center of the rod ends. If your current setup requires a 225mm tube to achieve your desired steering geometry and toe settings, this rod will be a direct fit.

Q: Why is the hexagonal shape better than a round tie rod?

A: The hexagonal design allows you to use a wrench directly on the rod body to rotate it. This makes fine-tuning your toe-in or toe-out adjustments significantly faster and easier, as you don't have to remove the rod ends to make length changes.

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

A: No, this product is for the tie rod tube only. You will need to reuse your existing 8mm rod ends or purchase new ones separately to complete the assembly.

Q: How do I maintain the black finish?

A: The resilient black finish is designed to withstand track debris and weathering. Simply wipe it down with a clean cloth after racing to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could scratch the protective coating.
