Bent steering shaft

[smith6653]

Will a small bend in steering shaft throw anything off majorly on setup?

Would change toe! Be best to just replace it! Get a hold of Waller Racing and get a new one!

yeah it was bent pretty bad and i straightened it the best i could. Cant hardly tell its bent anymore but i guess i will just replace.

One of our fastest karts has had a bent shaft for yrs. Just put a new one on, but kept the bent one just in case lol.

If you straightened it...set your toe and go with it. Save your money.

The steering configuration on most karts today is so far from ideal, I doubt that a slightly bent steering shaft is going to hurt anything, but why take a chance, replace it.
