I'll call this one both front tires don't agree

Well. Upsate Pa., while doing some exploring miles away from home, my front wheels on my manco xtk10 suddenly decided that they didn't want to agree anymore. I lost a bolt on one of my tie rods and both front wheels pointed inwards. I was lucky enough to rig up a bolt I found on another place on my kart and was able to limp home. I was also lucky not to flip it, I only skidded about 20-30 feet. Next feat was driving home while it was getting dark with no lights lol.

Those can be scary...
When the ball joint went on my son's cart I was lucky to still be in the parking lot at work. The 1st time my cart broke I was probably a mile or so from the office... I cheated and called in a truck, but I still had to push the buggy 1/4-mile or so.

I'm glad to see you didn't get hurt.

Glad you are allright, bt there is a good example of rear steer arms, front steer rarely bend....tension instead of compression.... Cool

That looks to familiar...
I bent mine after hitting a tree, wheels pointed out instead of in Twisted Evil

all most at that angle

I drove it about two miles back home, up hill through some tight trails ( praying the whole way) Laughing

steering was all over the place , but it made it back....then I banged it back into shape. And took it back out.

I am glad you were safe

Dude, don't worry too much. Even if I happen to lose a little steering I think I will be able to beat you since you only have reverse. Oops, did I say that outloud?
