Re: Bought a Bent One Apparently
It might just be spring sag from someone heavy riding in the driver seat. I don't see anything wrong with the front end. Please point it out.

Re: Bought a Bent One Apparently
If you are talking about the axle angle to the plastic bumper that is probably spring sag, all though I would check to make sure everything else is ok, like spring mounts.
Ok I see a difference where the front brackets are welded to the hole but that shouldn't be that much of an issue. |

Re: Bought a Bent One Apparently
So, there's nothing to worry about? Is there something I can do to get it more aligned? It seriously tilts to the drivers side. The leaf spring does look lower in the back end then the passenger side. Can this be adjusted?

Re: Bought a Bent One Apparently
I think the springs are worn out. You can replace them stock or with heavy duty, or dual action. I like the dual action smooth ride unloaded, has helper spring when loaded. I would check to see if any of the site sponsors sell them.

Re: Bought a Bent One Apparently
The guy told me he had rebuilt it from the ground up for a customer who ended up pulling out because of a family emergency. He told me everything was new...the only thing original were the pedals. New shocks, new batteries, frame, paint, steering wheel and tires. Said it was sandblasted early on and started from scratch. So, if that is true, would the frame have had the springs on it when the blasting was happening? I know nothing...just an old gramma needing some wheels to get around the property. Are springs and shocks the same thing? Are there additional springs besides leaf springs? He said the shocks were new.

Re: Bought a Bent One Apparently
It looks like the plastic cover is not parallel, but the front axle and the front body DO look parallel to me... So it appears to my eye that the plastic cover was riveted on poorly. I think you springs/front axle look ok... Just my $0.02

Re: Bought a Bent One Apparently
Are you talking about the leaf springs? The one that's lower on the left side of the cart in the backend pic? If so, they're about $150.00? A new pair of those would level my rig out? Do I need a golf car mechanic or can a regular mechanic do it? Thank you for your help.
ie; Thanks jax...so the txt electric needs 2 kinds of springs? I wonder why the guy who built it didn't replace everything. He said he did. Argh live and learn! I don't need a mechanics special. I just paid $3k for this and geez, how much more will this cost me? I'll have to have it towed to the nearest dealer 45 miles RT. |

Re: Bought a Bent One Apparently
Can you get a good pic of the front spindles where they bolt to the front axle. Some thing don't look right with them. And yes the one shock mount on the driver side is welded lower that the other one
