So i have some very dirty rod ends on my kart full of dirt, could i clean then with brake cleaner then lube them with white lithium grease.
There not that dirty honestly byt they have a little dirt in themIf they have that much dirt in them they are wore out I’d say. I wouldn’t use grease that would really give the dirt something to stick to. Maybe a dry Teflon lube.
You don't wash the kart weekly?There not that dirty honestly byt they have a little dirt in them
I do i wash it every week the day after the raceYou don't wash the kart weekly?
Then how did the heims get "very dirty" to the point you want to use brake cleaner to clean themI do i wash it every week the day after the race
That's why ours are completely disassembled, cleaned, reassembled and set up, the only thing that we don't take off is the seatIf you are washing your kart thuroughly then it wont be dirty. I am talking, soap, a rag, water, pressure washer like to where it looks brand new then lubing everything and cleaning your chain and bearings and putting a protective something on the frame so it looks mint ever week when you show up to the track. I would say spend some more time washign everything and cleaning every bit of your kart.
