Front Crash Bar:
The bolts securing the front bar are best left firmly
tightened but do not over tighten. Loosening the front
bar will reduce the front steering/grip.
NOTE: If your kart has a front crash bar that also
has two vertical bolts holding it to the
front pedal bar, then be sure that these
remain firmly fastened at all times.
FRONT END 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 bush
on the steering shaft is height adjustable by the two holes at the top of the chassis steering shaft
support uprights and the two holes on the steering shaft bush. It can also be adjusted by rotating the
plastic bush 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) is completely vertical. Now you are ready to do a front wheel
alignment, using either a ‘Sniper’ laser aligner or alignment bars.
1. TOE IN/OUT
Toe in/out refers to the front wheels pointing in
towards each other (toe in) or outwards away from
each other (toe out) when viewed from above. Refer
to your kart setup specifications for the suggested
starting settings.
NOTE: Excessive toe in or out may significantly
affect your kart’s top speed, as the
tyres will ‘drag’, acting like brakes.
