Default G1 Wobble

So it feels like it’s coming from the front right - but might be the rear. But I do not feel it in the steering wheel.

Basically it’s a rocking back and forth. There’s not a sound, but if I had to put a sound to it, I would it it’s like a “womp, womp,womp” wobbling as opposed to a shaking rattle.

I’m going to try swapping the wheels around to see if that has an effect on it (flat spot on tire?) but figured I would post up to see if there is any precedent and if anyone's solved a similar issue. (Worn our suspension etc.)

Thanks!

On a car this would probably be tires.

Alright. Going to move the tires around tomorrow and see if the wobble moves.

If so, local shop sells new take offs for $25.

Should hold me over until the wife allows for the lift, wheels and tires haha

Just a suggestion ... jack up the front end, and see if you can "wobble" the right or left tire.

You could need new kingpins and bushings. As they get old, like our G-1s, the bushings will start to wear. Just replaced 'em on one of mine, and it's not too hard to do.

Good call - I’ll have to jack it up to take the wheels off anyway. Will check while she’s in the air.

Swapped with some take off 8” wheels and tires from a local custom cart shop. Can’t say they are new but they don’t have the noticeable bulge I saw in 2 of my tires.

Definitely smoother ride, if not a bit bouncy still.

Wondering if I would benefit from new suspension.... not overly expensive. Has anyone replaced their shocks on the front and back? Was it a noticeably better ride?
