 STEERING ADJUSTMENTS - TOE

Using a C-clamp, lock the steering shaft in the 
center position. This can be done by clamping two 
D-rubber plates to the steering shaft, or by using a 
Angle iron to lock the steering shaft.

NOTE:
The steering shaft must be at the center position 
before toe can be set correctly.

Now from the front of the spindle (facing the front 
of the go-kart), measure the distance from the frame 
rail to the straight edge.

Subtract the measurement reading from the rear of 
the spindle to the measurement reading received 
from the front of the spindle; this measurement 
equals the toe-in.

Standard tow-in is 0”-1/8” with a service limit of 
1/4” of total toe-in.

Place a straight edge across hub flange.
From the rear of the spindle (facing the rear of go-
kart), measure the distance from the frame rail to 
the straight edge.

Angle iron
