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?
