Left-Hand 5/16" Bore 3/8" Shank Heim End for Kart Tie Rods

Solve compatibility headaches with the left-hand 5/16-inch bore with 3/8-inch shank Heim end, a clever adapter that bridges old kart designs with today's robust tie rod options. It allows seamless integration of readily available 3/8-inch rods into systems originally spec'd for smaller 5/16-inch, enhancing overall steering integrity.

• Left-hand threading for precise right-side installations.
• Bore sized at 5/16-inch to match legacy heim joints.
• 3/8-inch shank accepts standard jam nuts (sold separately).

This piece is a lifesaver for vintage kart owners, preventing the need for full overhauls while upgrading to stronger components that resist bending under load. The result? Smoother wheel alignment, reducing scrub and allowing your kart to track truer for faster straight-line speeds.

In practice, it facilitates easy adjustments during setup, keeping your toe-in dialed for optimal tire wear and corner entry. Trackside organization improves as you stock fewer specialized parts, focusing instead on fine-tuning for race conditions.

Don't let outdated hardware slow you down— this Heim end restores agility, indirectly aiding in quicker lap validations. Compatible with 3/8-inch jam nuts for secure locking. SKU: HJ516/38LH.
