Tie Rod upgrade (I think)
So after breaking these things a couple of time - what is the best way to upgrade the steering on my golf cart. 96 or 97 EZGO TXT. I'm not mechanical, strike one BUT I like to tinker...any help would be appreciated. I have circled the part that I keep breaking.

Got a picture of a broken one? Curious as to where it is breaking.

Re: Tie Rod upgrade (I think)
Thanks. I see a big problem with the design in that it is putting a LOT of twisting force on the part. The other problem is a pi$$ poor choice of steel. Steering [and other safety related parts] should be made of steel that doesn't just break like that without twisting or otherwise deforming first. If you are not equipped enough yourself, I would suggest taking it to a competent welder. He or she should have a fairly easy solution using better steel and also reinforcing it underneath.

Re: Tie Rod upgrade (I think)
replace the OEM spindles with ones for an ST350 model and do away with those extensions. That will almost certainly solve your problem.
I dont know if he still has them but Stovebolt had a pair for sale recently. https://www.buggiesgonewild.com/showthread.php?t=185086 If you manage to break these, you are running your cart way too hard LOL. |

Re: Tie Rod upgrade (I think)
Thanks for the help. @Dundee, I completely agree. My cart has a Jakes lift on it but I am guessing the part that keeps breaking is original to EZGO? @Cartmaster, thanks for the suggestion I messaged Stovebolt and am hoping he still has them. Will keep y'all updated.
