I recently picked up a go kart that has been repainted and am having trouble identifying. It's got a simple Independent Rear Suspension consisting of a shock, trailing arm, and axle with a single inboard U-joint.
Unfortunately the U-joint on the right axle was replaced by the previous owner who couldn't find the correct size so they honed out the axle to fit a bigger joint. This eliminated the ability to use retaining rings (snap rings) to hold the entire assembly together.
It worked for about a week after I bought until I lost a cap. Now I need to either "fix" the u-joint or replace the axle(s).
Does anyone have any idea what brand/model this go-kart is and where I can find parts? I haven't been able to find any images online of anything similar.
EDIT: Now that I'm a full-fledged member of this forum, I was able to find an almost identical thread by lyfesaver.
It's a Baja Blaster 65.
Many thanks.
