Hey gp, a little more info on the cart and what lift was used might offer you some answers buddy. Photos of your set up would help too. I know after I lifted my cart I had to re-set the toe in/toe out.

Agreed. Alignment is critical & it's amazing what a difference a small change can make.

98 club car gas with 6" a arm lift. I still have some adjustments to make but it just feels like the steering is really sensitive.

Mine drove that way until I adjusted the camber to "toe out". The top of the tire should sit 16"-1/4" out over the bottom of the tire.

Usually if you have toe in it is more sensitive. Toe out makes them wander around, but can be really strange it its off a lot either way. Make sure you do any other adjustments first like the camber or whatever. Make sure you don't have any loose parts like tie rod ends, wheel bearings, etc.

I ended up loosening my tie rods and taking the cart down the road repeatedly. Just a half turn on both can make a big difference.
