2008 Carryall Turf 2 Steering Problem
Hi all new here.
Just picked up a 2008 Carryall Turf 2 at a local auction. Filled the batteries with water and got it running last night. While driving around for the first time i noticed that it would turn sharply to the right but barely to the left. I got the front end off and looked around and it seems like the teeth in the steering might be stripped (dont know for sure). I can turn the wheel turn all the way to the left and then push the tires until they hit the stops. Then if i start turning the wheel back right it catches right away as if no teeth are stripped. Any ideas? -Hawk |

Re: 2008 Carryall Turf 2 Steering Problem
I've got an old DS that is like that. It's one of my yard carts so I don't bother trying to fix it, but it turns left like a champ. Turn around on a dime and give you 9 cent change. However turning right is awful. You couldn't turn around in a parking lot with that thing to the right.

Re: 2008 Carryall Turf 2 Steering Problem
My carryall does the same thing, after some searching I decided to replace the steering gearbox. Should have it done in a few weeks when I get back to the cart. Never rebuilt one but I am told it is possible, but I paid less than 150 delivered so I'm fine with that. Will let you know how it goes.

What models use the same steering gearbox? I probably should just get a new one as well. There are many used working gearbox's on the interwebs but i'm so new to this I don't know what will fit my 08 Turf 2. |

Re: 2008 Carryall Turf 2 Steering Problem
I've rebuilt a couple precedents and quite a few ezgos over the years. The hardest thing I ever had was getting a freakin inner tie rod off of a precedent. It was on with the force of 100 men. A vice, a crappy wrench and a 5lb sledge later I got it off.

Re: 2008 Carryall Turf 2 Steering Problem
I think i discovered the problem. Check the picture and take a look at how bent that bracket is. Im pretty sure this is why the wheels wont turn to the stops on both side. I also think that the over extending caused the rubber bushings to split....

Re: 2008 Carryall Turf 2 Steering Problem
The angle of the tie rod to the front right tire looks awful. That could be a huge part of it if that bracket it bent. I can say I did a replacement on a Precedent where a kid screwed the pooch on one.....had to replace the front structure support. Hard to get, has to be machined once you get it, nightmare it was.

Re: 2008 Carryall Turf 2 Steering Problem
Yeah the bent bracket is definitely causing that tie rod to be at that odd angle. I'll see if I can't take the front structure off, then heat up the bent part and hammer it straight.

Re: 2008 Carryall Turf 2 Steering Problem
There is a sticky with comments on your problem..
http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...alignment.html Seems like the culprit is a hard slam into the front end, possibly a pothole. |
