Have you looked at your cart if you can adjust the Camber which model cart do you own. I have a I40FL was wondering if I can adjust mine also

I haven't looked closely yet but plan to this weekend. I have a 2022 i60L. I would guess it's similar to all lifted Icons.

I did an alignment on my I40 last weekend and although I only needed to adjust the toe, the camber adjustment looks pretty straight forward. Just the eccentric bolt at the top. Now, that is not to say that getting it right in your driveway will be quick and easy, but the adjustment mechanism itself looks to be.

I would probably put a magnetic protractor on it when it was on the ground with normal load, then jack it up and note the delta. Then move it the needed amount (plus or minus the delta) and see if you are close after you put it down then drive it back and forward 20-30 feet or so. If you really messed it up, just start over. Keep in mind though that if you change the camber it will affect the toe, so you will want to recheck that once you are happy with your camber angle.

Only non lifted carts can be adjusted

The outside of the right front tire on my lifted cart is wearing very unevenly after less than 1000 miles. Measuring the tire with a level indicates that it has quite a bit of positive camber.

I looked in the wheel well but the upper shock mount does not have that adjustment. Is there really no way to adjust camber on lifted carts?

Our i60L has only 170 miles on it and the front tires are already half way thru the front tires. Back tires are still like brand new. Dealer has ordered 2 new tires and going to do an alignment on the cart.

Wow, that sounds pretty bad. I'd love to know how they align it. I've been researching camber bolts to see if I can fix it myself. I find it hard to believe it isn't possible.

The boot over the lower ball joint on the driver's side has disintegrated so I'm going to bring up the alignment when they fix that.

I will be with them as they are coming to our house to do the work.

Thanks!

Bluer,

Did you ever the alignment fixed on your cart?
