Re: 1998 club car w 5 inch jakes lift drives terrible
Car tire is going to be harder and heavier than a atv tire, but still could be partly alignment issue. Make sure the toe is set right it should be straight or just a little inwards for front tires. In too much makes them sensitive and nervous feeling at speed, and out too much makes them vague feeling and wander at speed...on the road. I left mine loose and drove down a road repeatedly to get them right, then tightened the tierods. If the kingpins or suspension arms/etc have any play in them that is not good. If you do that and still not good maybe you can find weaker shocks that work better.

If the tire is that heavy you will see it bounce off the ground when you hit something, it will come up more than it should. Just saying steering issues can come up on rough surfaces that you will not know about on smooth.

Re: 1998 club car w 5 inch jakes lift drives terrible
One day I was wondering if a motorcycle steering damper could be adapted to a cart, or even a car one. I had a ranger with one that was not that big, a monroe I think.

18 inch car rims?
So with tires, how tall are they overall? Def need a pic. Sounds like a Golf Cart Donk Heres what I'm picturing |
