4 Maximum steering angle position
5 Steering wheel fully turned position
● Place the kart on a trolley.
● Place the front wheel alignment disk (1) (available on the
ITAKA web site).
● Unscrew the lock nuts (2) of the 2 tie rods.
Warning : lock nut of tie rod side is a right hand thread;
lock nut of steering column side is left-hand thread.
● Position the upper branch of the steering wheel in the
kart axle.
● Measure A and B with a roll meter. Adjust the tie rods
until you get A = B with a tie rod length on the right side
1.5 mm bigger than the tie rod length on the left side.
● Turn the steering wheel to put the stub axle in position
(4), measure the dimension C.
● Turn the wheels in the opposite direction and measure
the dimension C for the second wheel.
● The two dimensions C must be equal.
Recommended setting on a dry track
● 2 mm opening : B = A + 2 mm.
● Make sure the dimensions C are equal on
each side.
Recommended setting on a wet track
● 7 mm opening : B = A + 7 mm.
● Make sure the dimensions C are equal on
each side.
● Remove the front wheel alignment disk (1).
● Do not forget to tighten the 2 lock nuts on
the tie rods; otherwise parallelism can be lost
in a few minutes.
● Any time you work on the front wheels, as
well as after shocks, check the parallelism.
► Never drive with badly tightened wheels: it
may lead to severe, even fatal injuries.
► Make sure that each ball joint penetrates at
least 5 threads in the tie rods.
