Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I determine if the 6.5" tie rod is the right size for my kart?
A: This tie rod is designed for a nominal length of 6.5" (adjustable between 6.375" and 6.50"). Measure your current tie rod from center-to-center of the rod ends. If your current setup falls within this range, this rod will provide the necessary adjustability for your steering geometry.
Q: Are the rod ends included with this tie rod?
A: No, this product is for the tie rod shaft only. You will need to reuse your existing 3/8" rod ends or purchase new ones separately to complete the assembly.
Q: What are the benefits of using an aluminum tie rod over steel?
A: The slim aluminum construction reduces unsprung weight, which can improve steering response and recovery. It is a popular choice for endurance racing where every ounce of weight savings contributes to better overall efficiency.
Q: How do I ensure the tie rod stays secure during a race?
A: The rod features deep-grooved threads designed for a secure fit. Ensure your jam nuts are tightened properly against the rod ends after making your adjustments to prevent the rod from rotating or slipping during hard launches and cornering.
