Go Kart Racing Steering Rod - 9.5" to 11" long, 5/8"-18 Heim Joints - $20 (palo alto)
QR Code Link to This Post
Total length (heim joint center to center) adjusts from ~9.5" to ~11"
I was going to use this to replace the prone-to-failure transfer case linkage rod in a 2000 Durango, but it didn't fit. Would be perfect for a go kart steering rod.
Test fitted but never used. In great condition other than minor dings in the hex tube.
