Here are some pics of the custom front suspension that I started last year
i have to just finish making the upper a-arms and make the spindle posts
and a few other small things

i did not use any plans for this i just looked at a pic of stretch plastic's design
this will be going on the 1989 marathon, since all the measurements i used were from that cart

as an added bonus i have made this suspension so that it is bolt-on and if i ever want to put original back on i can

so anyways heres some pics

Nice work. I can't wait for more pics.

The strech lift uses a second mounting point out front at the upper shock mount holes. Will you do something similar?

Re: My Golf Cart Adventures in Modding
 

Yes I'm going to mount it to this metal plate on the front
The pics I take this weekend will be able to explain it better

hey got up to my cabin today and i got the suspension mocked up.
1st i tried to install it on the 84 marathon but the bolt hole were off by about 3/8" , and that made me think that i welded it together wrong
so i pulled the front suspension on the 89 marathon and sure enough the bolt holes lined up absolutely perfect, also when i tried it on the 84 the steering column bottom brace was in the way so i cut it off.

anyways heres some pic's of it mocked up on the 89 marathon
