Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is the drilled shank design important for my steering assembly?

A: The drilled shank allows you to secure the bolt with the included cotter pin. This provides a secondary safety measure, ensuring the nut cannot back off due to track vibrations, which is critical for maintaining consistent steering geometry.

Q: Is this bolt compatible with all kart chassis?

A: This bolt is specifically designed for Ignite and Brava chassis. While the 5/16-18 thread is a standard size, please verify your specific steering column and bushing setup to ensure the 3.5" length is appropriate for your application.

Q: How often should I replace my steering hardware?

A: Steering hardware should be inspected during every routine service. If you notice any play in the steering, wear on the bolt threads, or if the bushing integrity feels compromised, it is time to replace the bolt to restore precise wheel feedback.

Q: Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

A: Yes, this kit includes the 5/16-18 x 3.5" bolt, a high-strength nylon lock nut, and the necessary cotter pin for a complete and secure installation.
