What Is an Eccentric Bush for Go Karts?
An Eccentric Bush for Go Karts is a precision-machined component that mounts in the C-spindle of a kart’s steering system, allowing fine adjustments to caster and camber angles to optimize tire grip and handling. Made from CNC-machined aluminum with an off-center bore, it enables 1-1.5° of alignment adjustment, improving cornering stability by 10-15%. This bush enhances steering responsiveness, aligning with your focus on components like go-kart spindles and bicycle stems. Unlike fixed bushings, which limit setup flexibility, eccentric bushes offer tunable geometry, essential for competitive karting where precise chassis tuning is critical for lap times.
Why Use an Eccentric Bush for Go Karts?
Eccentric bushes improve handling precision by 15%, allowing racers to adjust caster for better straight-line stability or camber for enhanced cornering grip, reducing tire wear by 10-20%. Their lightweight construction minimizes unsprung weight, and durable finishes resist corrosion and track debris. Luckyway’s eccentric bush, designed for 8mm or 10mm spindle screws, offers 800-1200 hours of corrosion resistance, complementing your interest in durable parts like wheel nuts and sprocket guards. Their precision machining and sleek aesthetics simplify setup and enhance kart appearance, making them vital for performance, tunability, and style, resonating with your inquiries about lightweight, high-performance components.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Preparation: Confirm C-spindle hole (18mm or 22mm) and spindle screw size (8mm or 10mm). Gather eccentric bush, spherical bearing (if included), seeger, 5mm hex key, torque wrench, and bike grease.
Positioning: Remove the wheel and loosen the C-spindle screw with a 5mm hex key. Extract the old bush using a bearing puller if needed. Insert the new eccentric bush into the C-spindle, aligning the off-center bore to the desired caster or camber setting (e.g., 1.5° for grip).
Securing: Apply bike grease to the spindle screw threads. If using a spherical bearing, seat it within the bush and secure with the seeger. Tighten the spindle screw to 8-10 ft-lbs with a torque wrench, ensuring no play. Reattach the wheel, torquing axle nuts to 15-20 ft-lbs.
Final Check: Verify alignment by steering the kart and checking tire contact. Test-drive at low speed to confirm handling, re-torquing screws after 10 laps. Carry a spare bush and seeger for trackside adjustments, noting 1.5° settings for specific tracks.
Maintenance Tips
Inspect for wear, corrosion, or bearing play every 20 race hours, cleaning with a mild solvent and brush. Reapply grease to screw threads monthly and replace bushes if worn or misaligned, typically after 800-1200 hours. Store spares in a dry case to prevent corrosion, matching Luckyway’s component advice. For frequent adjustments, mark bush orientations with a paint pen to track caster/camber settings, and check spherical bearing integrity after heavy impacts.
