spindle washers
Should there be any play at all in the spindle when the front of cart is lifted up? Mine had a good bit of play in it so I think I need to replace the washers at the top and bottom. I thought it was bushings but now I think it is just washers. Do I need to replace the bolt as well or just the washers?

Re: spindle washers
Haven't ever done this before. Is there anything else in there that would need replacing like a sleeve or anything?

Re: spindle washers
It really depends on what cart you have but most common ezgo axles have a bolt that goes through a big sleave that the splindle turns on.
A little up and down motion is normal when the cart is jacked up and no load on spindles. Need to replace the sleaves when you can hold the top and bottom of the wheel and rock it back and forth, just make sure if it rocks it is not loose wheel bearings. |

Re: spindle washers
I think there is supposed to be bushings (washers) at the red arrows but it also looks like there are washers at the yellow arrows too. Is this right or what?
