Axle Bearing Adjustment
Axle Bearing Adjustment
1. AXLE BEARING ADJUSTMENT
Problem: “Lack of rear grip”
Solution:
On Arrow karts using a 3 bearing
rear axle design, under certain conditions
where grip level is low extra grip may be
gained by loosening the centre bearing.
Remove the 3 bolts from the alloy bearing
flange and loosely fit three cable ties through
these holes. If you have seat stays fitted you
will need to remove the seat stay from the
alloy-bearing flange.
2. HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF THE REAR AXLE
Problem: “Kart is two wheeling excessively through corners”
(i.e. both inside wheels are 10cm off the track surface)
Solution: Raise axle in chassis.
Problem: “The back slides/the kart
oversteers going into the turns”
Solution: Make sure the back axle is located
full down in the chassis (i.e. the kart with
maximum rear ride height)
Why?
With the Arrow karts that allow height adjustment of the rear axle, by raising the height of the rear axle in
the chassis you are lowering the rear ride height. In effect, this changes the “centre of gravity”, (c/g), of your
kart, which is lowered and moved back compared to the axle in its normal full down position in the chassis.
Note:
As the general rule the axle should always be left fully down in the chassis as the kart’s normal
setting. Only when track conditions start making the kart two wheel excessively through corners
should the axle be raised in the chassis.
