Front Wheel Alignment
Front Wheel Alignment
It is important to remember that all karts need to have a wheel alignment done prior to each new day on
the track.
The first stage to doing a front wheel alignment is making sure you’ve set the height of your kart’s steering
wheel to where you find it will be most comfortable. On Arrow karts, the upper plastic bushing on the
steering shaft is height adjustable by the two holes at the top of the chassis steering shaft support uprights.
It can also be adjusted by rotating the plastic bushing upside-down.
Once you’ve done that, make sure the steering spade at the bottom of the steering shaft, (where the two
steering tie rods are bolted on) and are horizontal. Using a set of alignment bars, toe-in/toe-out should be
zero (meaning both front tyres are pointing dead straight ahead) as a starting point.

Congratulations on choosing a Drew Price Engineering Pty Ltd Kart.
Since 1973, DPE have been 100% committed to the Kart Industry. It’s our life, our passion and our
livelihood, so you can count on us being there when you need us.
In producing your kart, we have used only the best and highest quality materials and components, and
all possible care has been taken. However you must be aware that this is a high performance racing /
competition vehicle designed for use only on closed racing circuits. As such it is subject to very high levels
of stress and strain, therefore it requires constant inspection, maintenance and replacement of components.
FAILURE to carry out the above may result in severe injury, perhaps even death.
It is your responsibility as the Owner/Operator/Driver to carry out this regular inspection and a maintenance
schedule is offered to you for your guidance. Please be aware that in providing these guidelines we make no
indication that these items are the only maintenance or inspection required, merely that they are important
elements in the maintenance of your kart/s.
To carry out these inspections, a basic level of mechanical knowledge is required. If you are unsure or do
not possess the basic level of mechanical knowledge required, then you must have this work carried out by
a suitably qualified person. Contact your local Kart Distributor/Dealer for further information.
As this is a racing vehicle it is possible a collision may occur. If a collision occurs which results in damage
to any of the following assemblies or any of their components, then the damaged component/s must be
replaced and not repaired.
