Default Ezgo rvx swaying back and forth with weight on rear seat

Had two larges buddis on the back last night about 450 lbs and me and a friend in front. When I,got up probably around 18 to 20 MPH the steering went to **** and the car moved left and right almost freel8. Is this normal? Is it bc I don't have HD leafy Springs ?

Any info is appreciated.

HD springs might keep the back end from sagging as much, but I suspect the light front end problem is weight distribution.

The rear axle is the fulcrum and the weight of your two large buddies is behind the rear axle, so the relative weight on the front axle is lighter by whatever they weigh.

That does make sense. Thanks

Hang some barbell weights on the front when your large friends ride on the back seat.

I had the same problem and installed HD rear springs and that helped tremendously.

Mount a chair to the front end, make one of the larger friends ride up there. Sounds like a "thrill ride"!
