Re: 87 marathon drop axle ????
From my days of having an 88 cart, I found none. Pretty much all great upgrades end with the late 1989 model. The older the cart the harder it gets. I only found block lifts for pre 1989 but no drop axle. I finally just sold mine because no front brakes existed. Carts from 2001 and up seem to be the industry sweep spot. You maybe able to make one work, but ya gonna have to MacGyver it.
good luck joe |

Re: 87 marathon drop axle ????
If you find one please post here. The front axle changed with the 1989 carts. The carts look the same, but are different. Either your neighbor has a 89 or later cart or had a custom job. Again, block lifts, which I went with, work well,are inexpensive and easy to find. If you can fab...well it's up to you.

I really wanted the drop axle or was thinking of building one because it makes the front wider and looks a bit better |

Re: 87 marathon drop axle ????
the difference I see, is that the axle is below the wheel joint with a pin through the joint from the bottom, the newer ones in the middle of the joint and has more of Y connection. If that makes any sense. I had 10 inch rims with 22inch tires on my 88 and it was pretty wide on the front. the 10inch rims had an off set also. you can also put wheel spaces to give it more of a wider stance. Like I said earlier, the old ezgo had sh*t brakes. the big tires only made it worse.
