Kart centerline?

What is the best reference to use for the centerline of my kart chassis? I noticed that the rear axle is a little offset to the right and I want to center it.

Measure from outside bearing hangers to end of axle. Unless you have reason to do otherwise, set to the same distance on both sides.

And then the same for setting the rear hubs, use the bearing hangers as the reference, and then measure from there. Even if the axle is a little off, having the hubs properly spaced will take care of things.
