mine does it too, I think the springs are worn and sagging...I'm either going to try to space the springs tighter or make something to lower the upper shock mount since new shocks are almost a couple hundred bucks

I bought a G22 with a Jakes 6" on it and my front looks like this \ / which is the opposite of what yours is doing. It's my first cart and I'm pretty mechanical minded but I don't think there is an adjustment. If there is please let me know

no there is not a adjustment but i did come up with a solution and it worked perfect,I found a motorcycle spring and cut off 1 coil and took off my cart spring and placed the motorcycle coil on top of it and tacked it, put it back on and it looked like it came from the factory like that.now the best of all straight front wheels!!!!!

Nice.... Are those Carlisle All Trail tires? I just bought a 2004 G22 and got the Rhox 6" A-arm lift that reuses the front coil overs. Not sure if mine are worn yet, just finding out now the G22's have weak front ends. Was gonna kick down for the Jake's LT but the track width is just too much with that setup. I'll be tearing into the buggy when I get home from Russia. In a couple weeks. What you buggin around in now?

We've done a bunch of lifted G-22s - different brands but mostly 3" spindle lifts. Almost all have been \/ cambered out at the top, but I've used a port-a-power to bend things to straight.

When there's no adjustment and you still need to "adjust" it - you do what you've got to do.
