Most likely the spindle is bent.
I replaced both spindles got one race on themMost likely the spindle is bent.
You didn't happen to get low cross spindle did you.I replaced both spindles got one race on them
I have a 07 icon. I had the same problem with my cross my motor guy who also builds karts pull the left rear frame rail down and i got more cross out of mine now. Icons were bad for that. I can get 66 cross out of mine i run between 63% to 66% cross in mine. I did have to flip the slugs till i had all that done i hope this helps you outYessir appreciate it
I think he is low on cross because he's only got .5in front stagger, if i understood his response about stagger correct. Most guys are 1.25-1.5 across the front.First thing I'd be figuring out way only 58 % cross with washers totally jacked both sides you should be able to get a lot more, then once I figured that out even up washers more balanced set it at 60 % cross, Then I'd take a good look at my tire program and adjust on it adding some bite if nothing else, then if i still had the push I'd move the RR out a quarter inch, and take 2 flats of RF neg camber out of it.
Good Luck !!
Post #14 he says inch 1/2, even with adding that it wouldn't go over 60 he should be able to get 66 easy.I think he is low on cross because he's only got .5in front stagger, if i understood his response about stagger correct. Most guys are 1.25-1.5 across the front.
????? Measuring from where to where ???Also RR tucked in tight & Rear tread width 33-1/2"
From wheel to bearing hanger, I set mine just shy of 3/8????? Measuring from where to where ???
I'm still confused when you say 3/8 " LR from inside of wheel to cassette hanger ? If so where are you getting the 33 1/2" measurement from center to center ?From wheel to bearing hanger, I set mine just shy of 3/8
Put the RR tire on & measure from the bearing hanger to the wheel, move hub in or out till this measurement is 3/8 of an inch. Some may measure tread width different but for me with Maxxis tires & both RR & LR tires bolted on i measure from outside of RR to outside of LR. Measurement is from line to line (line being the first line of the 3 lines on the edge & the one closets to the surface of the tire). Move LR hub in or out to get the 33-1/2"I'm still confused when you say 3/8 " LR from inside of wheel to cassette hanger ? If so where are you getting the 33 1/2" measurement from center to center ?
Changed my response because I just realized I read this wrong I think lolPut the RR tire on & measure from the bearing hanger to the wheel, move hub in or out till this measurement is 3/8 of an inch.

lol, yes that is correct. Outside to outside & the very first of the 3 lines on the sidewall.Changed my response because I just realized I read this wrong I think lol
Am I now understanding with both RR and LR on, you measure from OUTSIDE line to OUTSIDE line and it's only 33 1/2 ". ?
Are you sure you don't mean 38 1/2 "at 33 1/2 outside to outside, they would have to be real narrow maxxis tires, or are they odd ball maxxis sizes. ?lol, yes that is correct. Outside to outside & the very first of the 3 lines on the sidewall.

What do you mean by “tended to like to knock down the fence” ??the Icon I like 1/8 slugs hole down bottom hole LR; zero slugs bottom hole RR. When I took rake out of the back of the kart it tended to like to knock down the fence .
More bite in the tires .
Wiggy bar ?
