Without it, vibrations from the track can cause your rod ends or clevises to rotate, which may change your pedal travel or throttle opening over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I properly install this jam nut?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thread the jam nut onto the rod first, then attach your clevis or rod end. Once you have adjusted your linkage to the desired length, tighten the jam nut firmly against the clevis to lock the assembly in place. Using two wrenches—one to hold the clevis and one to tighten the nut—ensures a secure fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this 1\/4-28 thread compatible with all kart linkages?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a standard size for many racing kart throttle and brake systems. However, always verify that your rod and clevis are also 1\/4-28 threaded before installation, as some components may use metric threading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I reuse this nut after making adjustments?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this jam nut is designed for repeated use. However, if you notice the threads becoming worn or if the nut no longer holds tension against the clevis, it is recommended to replace it to ensure your pedal inputs remain consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRelated Products From Vendor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/throttle-clevis-w-spring-km50\"\u003eThrottle Clevis with Integrated Spring for Safe Pull\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/throttle-brake-clevis-clevis-only-clevis\"\u003eUniversal Throttle and Brake Clevis for Kart Pedals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/throttle-brake-clevis-pin-pin-only-cpin\"\u003ePrecision Throttle and Brake Clevis Pin for Secure Linkage\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/throttle-rod-spring-in-line-dp-248\"\u003eIn-Line Throttle Rod Spring for Neutral Return\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SwiftKarting","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48157934616835,"sku":"JN1428RH","price":1.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/1-4-28-jam-nut-for-throttle-and-brake-rod-locking","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
