Need help

Shake&Bake · 01-23-2010, 12:05 PM

My ride has 6 inch lift, my boys jumped something and broke the welded plated away from the front of the leaf springs. I made some brackets and bolted them to the frame in the same position as the welded ones. Now my rear end keeps sliding to the rear and rubbing my fenders. I have tightened all the bolts and it still slides. Any advise on what I can do? This is on an 03 club car.

Are you saying the rear is sliding on the springs or the whole springs are sliding?

Have a good welding shop repair the mount Rigid as it was originally and second, keep the boys off of it

The entire springs and rear end are sliding.

Because your repair created a hinge point where ridgitity once was

THis is all I can imagine since you have provided no pictures of the damage or the repair and now ask us for advice? That's a stretch, NO?

I agree with scottyb on the welding, or you could look in to a nice long travel lift kit that will hold up to "the boys" and their antcs a little better
