Help: Installed lift and now front end bounces
Hi.
Installed an All Sports 4-inch A-arm lift and 22x11x10 Excel Lawn Pro tires on a 1986 Club Car gas. The problem is that the front end bounces quite a bit, so much so that it is not fun to drive. I'd appreciate any assistance resolving this issue. Thanks |

Re: Help: Installed lift and now front end bounces
Have you tried reducing the air pressure in the tires?

Re: Help: Installed lift and now front end bounces
Possible tire defect? What pressure are you running tires at? Also we had a simular problem on a cart saturday. If you look closely at the point where the tire meets the rim, Its up real close most of the way around but there is about 4 inches or so that tire is not seated on rim. We tried to reseat tire and it will not pop completely on the bead. Let me know if thats is the case with yours also. It is the exact same tire, exact same size. We have 8 in stock on aluminum wheels and 5 were this way.

Re: Help: Installed lift and now front end bounces
Hi.
I mounted the wheels/tires straight out of the box. One tire, which ended up the front right (passenger side) arrived low on air. I have twice aired it up, but git oes soft. Doesn't go all the way flat, just soft. I just checked the pressure, and it registered only 7 pounds. The "good" tire on the left front reads 13 pounds. Appreciate any assistance. Thanks |

Re: Help: Installed lift and now front end bounces
13 pounds could be the bouncer. Reduce it to 8 and try it?

Re: Help: Installed lift and now front end bounces
Hi.
Reduced the three "good' tires down to eight pounds and increased the fourth tire that is losing air up to eight pounds, and the bounce still persists. It feels to me that the bounce is coming from the tire that is having trouble holding air, the front left. Any ideas? Thanks |
