If that is the original 1989 leaf, definitely replace it. Club Car shocks are crap from the factory, replace them. Id take apart the tie rods and clean the ends up really good and put all new, fresh grease in them. Get new rubber seals for the tie rods too. I don't know if it is just the angle the pic was taken at or what, but it looks like the passenger side delta plate is twisted. Another thing to do would be take the hubs off the spindles, clean them spotless inside, and repack with grease. Take off the dust covers, there is a castle nut in there, pull out the key, and take the nut off. The hubs shouldn't come off too bad, may take a little tugging or a few light taps. Whereever there is a grease zerk, I'd take the part apart, clean it spotless, and put brand new grease in there. There are zerks on each end of the delta plates, the 3 tie rod ends, and the drop spindle king pins.
Anything else anyone would like to add?
