Why Use a Steering Lock Alignment Kit?

Accurate front-end alignment is essential for race-winning performance. This steering lock kit makes it easy to achieve consistent, repeatable settings—giving you the confidence that your kart's steering is dialed in lap after lap.

FAQ

Q1: What does this steering lock tool do?

A: This tool locks your 5/8" steering shaft in place, keeping the steering wheel and spindles centered. This makes it easier to accurately adjust toe-in, toe-out, toe sweep, and Ackermann geometry on your go-kart.


Q2: Will this fit all go-karts?

A: This kit is specifically designed for go-karts that use a 5/8-inch steering shaft, which is standard on many sprint, oval, and road-course racing karts. Always verify your shaft size before purchase.


Q3: What alignment settings can I adjust using this kit?

A: Once the steering is locked in the neutral position, you can accurately set:

  • Toe-in / toe-out
  • Toe sweep (variation over steering range)
  • Ackermann angle
    These adjustments help optimize handling, tire wear, and cornering precision.


Q4: Does this kit include toe alignment measurement tools?

A: No, this kit is meant to lock the steering system in place. You'll still need toe plates, laser alignment tools, or string alignment systems to measure toe angles.


Q5: Why is toe alignment so important for karting?

A: Proper toe alignment reduces tire drag, improves steering response, and helps maintain straight-line stability. A misaligned front end can hurt lap times and wear tires unevenly.
