My dad made me a go cart when I was a kid, and I’m not sure I’m understanding correctly, but he cut a groove out of the 2x4 so the rod sat in it and inverted the 2x4 so the weight of the cart held the rod in the groove. The rod was secured in the groove I’m sure, but I don’t recall how. Might have just been the fact that there was nowhere for it to go. On each end of the 2x4 there was fender washer so the wheel didn’t rub on the end of the 2x4.

It held up until we outgrew it.
