Please don't use "all thread" for a steering arm!! way too soft to last any length of time. Go to any hardware store that has metal by the piece, get a round tube as close to your steering arm diameter, cut the arm and slip the tube over it and weld the ends.I've done this to many karts and never fixed it again.Hitting a rock or root hard with the tire is all it takes to bend a stock steering arm. The Spiderbox got a solid rod inside the stock steering arm when I lengthened them to maintain the wrench slot. They sell many different types of steering ball joints for riding mowers at Tractor supply,Southern states, Northern tools,ect.. for around $20 a pair that will hold up, bigger is better of course!
