No , not yet , try this first ...
1 . Remove all parts except rear axle and wheels .
2 . Get a friend to stand on the back of the chassis or axle to hold it firm .
3 . Raise the front of the chassis and place either a thick stout lump of timber or an axle stand under the king-pin side of the chassis that is low .
4 . Stand on the otherside of the chassis at the front to flex it downwards so to bend it in the direction you want it to go .
5 . Bounce up and down gently to twist the chassis back to where you want it to be .
6 . Keep re-measuring your progress until its correct .
This may not be the ideal way to do it but it is the DIY version . You could always contact one of the kart suppliers to have it put on a jig and straightened . There will be no guarantees that either option will work but at the moment you have nothing to loose ...
