Thanks for the pics....it appears to me to have been hit hard on the right side. .. (as you are driving it) left hand spindle looks correct. .....

From a side view. ...is that bumper twisted????? I'm thinking the axle and frame may also be slightly bent....hard to tell unless the pictures are 100% at 90°......so look closely. ....get it up off the ground. .... (like on sawhorses) and try to sight line everything. ...(like rifle sights).....

This will show bends and defects not readily apparent. .. (especially to the untrained eye. ....

Post back up any variances. ...(preferably with pics) ....because a straight spindle is still not going to work correctly on a bent axle. .....

The front bumper curves up but after taking a straight edge to it the frame is sound, but the right side seems to be pushed back almost but not quite an eighth of an inch. Now the axel bar is straight...seems the bracket is what was pushed back.after reading your post i was getting worried.

Ok....so check it this way.....butt a a tape measure to the back axle and measure to the pivot bolt center of the spindles on either side. ...that is probably what matters most. ......:thumbsup:

Ok looks pretty good, other then my spindles being bent, and after taking them out to get measurements, i guess my eyes were playing tricks on me so nothing on the kart itself it actually bent....I also found that instead of using pins, they used full threaded bolts....smh...and one of the tie rods is bent....looks like even though the frame is good...its needing a front end...i will replace all..just have to find parts now...on a side note, we are at a cookout so i brought it with me for the kids to mess with, it starts and runs fine, but after a few passes it stalls out like its losing fuel....i have checked kill switches, fuel and everything in between and cant figure it out....itll fire right back up after it dies

:wai: Can you post the name on the rear bumper? I can not read it with the roll bar in the way. Down in the southern states if you order a pulled pork sandwhich, the waiter/waitress will usually ask you with or without (meaning slaw) and most Yankee's do not understand the question. So I will have mine with. Hot dog/brauts with chili and onions, I will eat the slaw on the side.
