Re: Bad Bounce - Unstable 2012 EZGO TXT
Need some help as I'm starting to get desperate. My cart, which is a pretty standard non-lifted cart, bounces badly. I've done the following that has not resolved the issue:
New tires - which were needed New rear springs/shocks - which were needed Front shocks - note really sure if these were needed (did not put new springs on front) Front alignment - was off pretty bad, about 3/4" Dropped tire pressure down to 15 PSI I bought the cart used but it rode nicely at that time. None of the above fixed my issue although some may have helped a little. What else do I need to look at? If 'feels' like the bouncing may be coming from the rear. Thanks... PS: sorry about the duplicate and apparently empty post. Think we were having database problems at the time. Last edited by TDCman; 03-22-2019 at 04:33 PM.. Reason: clarification |

Re: Bad Bounce - Unstable 2012 EZGO TXT
Switch front wheels to rear. See if bounce seems to come from front after switch.
This will determine if it’s a wheel issue. Confused in that if cart rode fine when you bought it. Did problem start after parts replacement?or did problem start from sitting then you replaced parts to correct it ? If cart rode fine when bought, what happened to cart that problem showed up ? |

Today I reinstalled one of the rear springs where the lug didn't seem to seat properly in the axle. Also re-torqued all the wheels. Seemed better but still some bounce mostly when accelerating. |

Nylon tires develop flat spots when just sitting, it takes about 1/2 mile on smooth road for them to ride smooth

Re: Bad Bounce - Unstable 2012 EZGO TXT
Is the bounce happening on level ground, or over/after bumps? If on level ground, DannyAbear has most likely given you the reason.
If it's not level ground, can you give more information? Do you hear any thumps, what kind of bumps, is it like a boat, etc... |

Re: Bad Bounce - Unstable 2012 EZGO TXT
Mostly on level streets. I'm going to move some of the tires around and see if I can identify any type of issue with a specific wheel/tire. Not real optimistic as the issue has been there with the old and new tires.
How often do the front springs actually need to be replaced. Replaced the rear because they were flat and looked obviously worn but not the fronts. |

Re: Bad Bounce - Unstable 2012 EZGO TXT
It is possible for springs to be broken but not be obvious. Springs are the suspension and shocks are merely dampers, to stop "bouncing".
