Help with clubcar precedent rear springs

Tom Burke · 02-25-2013, 02:43 PM

I just got off the phone with my cc dealer. I'm looking for heavy duty rear springs. He tells me cc makes a heavy duty single leaf. Never seen one. Have any of you guys?
The part number for the heavy leaf springs is 103742303

I have - they are solid

We have not updated rear springs on our 06 precedent yet, we do have the rear seat.
Has anyone tried both the CC heavy duty single leaf and the multiple leaf kit that several of the site sponsors have to give so feed back in comparison?

Tom, there is at least one sponsor on here that sells a "medium-duty" single rear leaf spring that is stronger than the stock ones. But, be careful what you buy. They were advertised on one sponsors site as fitting "Club Cars from 199x-present", but in reality they only fit the DS model. They DID NOT fit Precedents.

I have also heard of some folks buying the heavy duty springs and not installing all of the leafs. Should be able to find some posts on that on here somewhere.

aviator - I installed the aforementioned "medium-duty" single spring. Must say, the ride is much stiffer off-road, but I needed them after installing the rear seat. Haven't tried the heavy-duty springs but can only imagine they are quite stiff. Probably ok on pavement, but on a gravel road, wooooo!, not fun.

HI Dingle Berry
Thanks for the quick info,,,, I think perhaps for ours i might try the medium duty then.
Ours will mostly be a camper cart with some off road but lots of road and gravel road application.

I ran down and pick up a set. I must say they don't look that much different than the stock springs. I'll post pics when I remove them.

There is a little difference but not much. Just enough to make it ride better with riders on the rear seat.

I installed the HD springs on the back of my cart and they beefed up the back of my cart but rides like a log wagon.
