'93 ezgo ifs
Time for another build. I sold my other cart "92 Marathon All Around Build" and picked up this 93 marathon. I am going to be transplanting a Briggs 18 hp V-Twin into this cart. I also purchased a 89 Honda TRX-250 frame that i will be using the front control arms off of to do an IFS front end with. Below are the pics of how the cart started off. I will post pics as progress is made.

Re: '93 ezgo ifs
Here is the start of the fab work. On the last cart i built these drop brackets for the rear. They lower the mounts 2" and move them back 5" so that it has a little longer wheel base. It worked well on the other cart so i am doing the same to this one. Also note that i am opting for a coil over rear suspension. When i fab'd the lower mounts i made it so that i can add another coil over to carry some additional weight. I noticed on the old cart (which had stock rear suspension) that when i had gear or people in the back it would bottom out easily. I want to make sure that doesnt happen with this one.

Re: '93 ezgo ifs
So last night I began the fab work on the IFS system for the front. Here is what i have so far. It is just tacked together for now. I need to remove some brackets on the bottom side of the chassis so that this can mount cleanly, but from the pics you can get an idea of what i am trying to do. It actually has nice fluid motion thru out the entire stroke of the suspension. I think it will do the trick nicely.

Re: '93 ezgo ifs
Very nice! What do you intend to do for steering?

Re: '93 ezgo ifs
Heres you a steering idea, its meant for a 54" wide UTV, but Im sure you could modify it fairly easily by cutting and shortening the shafts:
Steering rack: http://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/BH-50043150.html Tie Rod End: http://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/BH-50041183.html Steering Shaft: http://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/BH-50040545.html Steering Wheel: http://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/BH-50038678.html Just an idea. THese are all bush hog UTV (discontinued) parts, but it may work for you for this application. Wes |

Re: '93 ezgo ifs
Looks great. Would you consider making another IFS for sale? I've got a '92 Marathon that is asking for a nice front suspension.
