My steering was getting so bad on my teener that I felt like I was driving a old truck. Lots of play in the steering wheel. I pulled the gas tank and sure enough: The original steering coupler was toast. I order a upgrade coupler from Tangerine Racing: http://www.tangerineracing.com/steeringupgrades.htm
This product is less than half of a new OEM rubber coupler too! See the comparison of the old coupler with the new one. I have my go-cart steering back! Attached image(s) |

This is not really a bolt on part....I mean it bolts on but to get to that point there is a lot of work. My steering and suspension was shot, I also ordered one from Tangerine (Chris F)...while I was installing this part I also added Turbo tie rods with the Lemforder pieces, new ball joints and the Weltmiester bump steer kit. All these parts combined completely transformed the steering of my car to a much more direct feeling and made driving so much more fun. Totally recommened !! I will have to say that though I did not actually install the parts myself, had my shop do it while we were doing the new shocks, front roll bar, tank restoration, bushings and new shocks all around with rear springs...they told me it was a lot of work and hoped to never do that again. If you do a search they are others who have done this upgrade and I think its worth it...my coupler was in bad shape too. Just be prepared for lots of work if you try it yourself or lots of money if you pay to have the work done like I did. Anyway the part is very high quality and helps a lot. I am so glad I had this done to my car.
