The kart steering system is a simple
construction with a main steel steering column operating a
bottom torque arm which in turn moves one front wheel. A second
tie rod connects the two wheels to make up the Ackerman
geometry. The steering wheel can be shaped from 18mm - (3/4")
plywood, or you can add your own. The main torque joints use
ground flats on the column plus wooden clamping blocks for added
security.
Ball and socket joints are used at
the connecting rod ends to ensure smooth movement and easy setup
and adjustment.
