Fwiw we have always put washers between our Heims as well and one other thing I will add for whoever may read is we try to keep the threads going into the tie rod adjusted equal amounts on both ends. I have seen a lot of karts with one heim threaded all the way in and the other end only has a couple threads inside the tie rod. Imo it creates a weak spot for slight contact to possibly end your night. Just my 2 cents. Good vid
Thanks for the help on my set up i took your advice on setting toe and or made a huge diffence thank you so much for your advice, god bless you ben your a good dude!
Hey man i just bought a used gokart and im having a issue where the steering is hardd when on the ground but fine while on stand what can i do to fix this ..?
Hate to ask a dumb question but are you moving? As in just setting on the ground it’s not going to steer easy unless you’re moving forward. Other then that I’d be checking Heim joints and front end bearings first any kind of restriction or bad bearings. Hope that helps.
Thanks always looking forward to the next, helpful video.
And toe adjustment, in the future, that goes along with tie rods. Thanks again. ❤
Did one but plan on doing something similar with a Different concept soon.
James Stanley jr has a good video on kart assembly and a great explanation why you should NOT put a washer in between the tie rods
Really? I’ll have to check that out. I just put it back the way I found it. Thanks
