This steering shaft is 470mm long with a 2mm wall and a 20mm outer diameter. It's a standard - length, slotted shaft. The slotted design gives it a different Ackerman geometry compared to the OEM shaft, enhancing steering performance.

Using this steering shaft is easy. First, make sure your kart is turned off and on a stable surface. Remove the old steering shaft carefully and then install this new one in its place. When driving, you'll notice improved steering response due to the unique Ackerman design. As for maintenance, regularly check the shaft for any signs of wear or damage, like cracks or bends. If you spot any issues, replace the shaft right away. Also, keep the shaft clean to prevent dirt and debris from affecting its performance.
