Default How to fix a tilt or list to the left

I have an EZGO fleet car 2001 with a 6-in jakes lift and rear seat. The driver's side is about 1-2 inches lower than the passenger side. I replaced the original rear springs with HD springs, but the problem persists. Is the next step replacing the front springs? They look normal. Or should I just not worry about it.

Yes, the front spring on the driver's side wears out before the passenger side and produces the leaning effect.

or swap them side to side if you dont want to spend any more money.

or buy HD frt springs and dont worry about it.

most carts only have 1 person and thats the driver.

I would recommend the stock 2-leaf springs unless you have a lot of extras' on the cart,otherwise it will ride like a tank.Swapping them left to right will likely just switch your lean,new springs or having yours re-arched by a spring-shop will fix it.If you choose this option,bring both springs,and tell them to match the left to the right,and maybe give the left a touch extra if you are a little heavier and run solo most of the time(this will prevent leaning and improve handling/ride quality by keeping it level).Most carts lean left,since they are usually run solo.Yamaha is notorious for this,Ez-Gos' aren't quite as common,but it happens.Hope this helps.

It's from all those fat golfers that don't allow anyone to ride with them. They wear out those left side springs.

I had this same problem and I replaced the read with a HD spring set up and went with the standard springs on the front. Problem solved.

Thanks to all for the advice. I'll replace the front springs with new ones and report back.
