I've been there, shortening a longer bolt so that the bushing doesn't ride on the thread. Some kart builders weren't all that careful! We sold Bug and Go Kart. Neither were built all that carefully, though both were solid karts. I remember one of the Ohio manufacturers bringing a trailer load of demo karts to our shop in hopes that we might take on a dealership. The kingpins were not only vertical, no caster, but were so sloppy that you could move the tire around like the bolt wasn't even there. I drove one of their karts up the driveway, and every time it'd hit a bump, it'd try to jerk the wheel out of my hand. Needless to say, Pop declined the dealership offer. At least the Blitz was well made. TJ
