Axle Stiffness Query

[Graham Odell]

Hi there,
I was just wondering if there is a way to determine the type of axle on my kart. Its an R32.
Should there be markings or anything on it to tell the stiffness??

Thanks.

Yes, on the left side the axle has etched on the axle the length and the code: M, F, F2.5 etc. then lookon our web site for the relative ranking of that axle.

Thanks Garry, I'll look as soon as I can but I have looked all over the "visible" parts of the axle and can't see anything, should it be right at the end or could it be hidden by the brake carrier or left bearing?

Thanks

The older axles had the letter m, k, f etc stampedinside the right key way of the right hub. also look inside for the color of the axle.
