Help improve my Live Axel

[stevenharmon]

I have been drawing up some planns for constructing a live axle for my go kart project in early stages but this is what i have atm.

Any tips or ideas would be great!

it is ok but rather than putting bearings in a tube u can buy bearing hangers that are little plates that hold the bearing in place also rather than a giant nut on each end to prevent sideways movment u can buy locking collars that clamp on the axil and sit up against the bearing

Yer the bolts on the ends was the worst idea of the plan but i shall look into some bearing hangers and locking collors, cheers
