New A-Arm Suspension, Limited Turning Radius

Atomic Wedgie · 10-12-2009, 11:02 PM

Well....I just got done buttoning up my 2001 1/2 EZGO TXT and took it for a test drive. I went with a Strech Industries A-Arm lift in the front, and the only problem I have is a limiting turning radius when I turn the cart to the left. The steering wheel can only turn half as far to the left as it does to the right.

The instructions were decent, but the one thing they did not cover was setting up the steering rack. When I set up the front end I put the front wheels as straight as I could, and centered pinion from the steering wheel so it was centered on the rack (Everything else lined up just fine). With my limited brain capacity this seemed like the best way to go. Now I know it wasn't! I hope there is a simple solution to fixing this.....everything else on the cart came out bitchin'! Pics will be posted soon.

you need to center the rack and slide the splin coupler on ...its still not going to turn the greatest but it should be the same from right to left

the 2 spline universals... measure from the billet part of the rack to the rod end and make them the same on both sides... did you remove the spacer on the billet rack under the rubber boot???

Yep, the spacer is removed.
