G22 front end

chelanman · 03-04-2009, 03:03 AM

I just bought a g22 from a golf course and am in the process of fixing it up. I notice that the front camber is out quite a bit. Is this normal? If not how do I fix this. I can only see the steering rod adj for toe in and out. Thanks for any help.

Usually the camber is somewhat off on most carts. If it is way off, it is usually due to bad shocks. Also check the king pins: jack the front end up, put one hand on top of a tire and one on the bottom, and see if you can move the wheel/tire back and forth.

Thanks, I will give that a try. If the king pins are bad are they expensive to fix?

Thanks, as soon as I get this thing back together I will post some pics. the body was pretty beat up from being a rental, so it is heading to the paint shop for a makeover.

Welcome. On G22's I always check for bent "arm knuckles" (they kind of look like an "s" and mount to the spindle and the tie rod end attatches to them) first. I have never had to change king pin related parts on a G22 yet. I don't beleive he is a site sponsor (I could be wrong), but "Plowmans" says he can "shim" your "struts/shocks" to get back camber. Good luck with your car. Later Dave
