UCA Threaded Rod Length in Sleeve

[cv2065]

Today was Go Kart day! I'll be updating my build thread shortly. Anyhow, I was doing some post adjustments on the UCA's until I get my official alignment, but the front passenger wheel had a little too much negative camber, so wanted to bring it back into a rough alignment and wasn't sure how many threads showing on the sleeve is considered acceptable without creating a safety issue? If I recall correctly, the threaded rods are 2.25" long, with a diameter of 1". Here's a picture of the front sleeve/threaded rod on my passenger side.



Counting the threads under the lock nut as well, I have about 1.25" of threads showing, so if my recall of the threaded rod length is 2.25...that leaves an inch so would be considered OK?

I have an old picture showing 2-3/8 so close enough. Yep, I think you are fine as is.

Remember, that you can lengthen both of the UCA sleeves a little and push the top of the wheel outward. It doesn't have to be only one doing all the work... You also have your Toe adjustments that will cause some minor changes to all of that...
