Yamaha Drive sway bar install
I bought a Yamaha Drive gas cart a few months ago with a 6” lift, 22” tires and rear flip down seat. I love the cart but it didn’t take long to notice how much more body roll it had compared to older carts that I have owned. I did a lot of searching and seems like the only band aid I found was installing heavy rear shocks. I don’t like this idea since it will ride worse. With 2 adults on the back seat and 2 on the front you have to drive very slow, plan for unlevel ground and turns. I ended up putting together a sway bar kit with parts that are very easy to buy. I will post part number of everything later when I have more time. You will need to have welding and fabrication skills to complete this. If this works I will posts a few pics of what it looks like. Sorry that they are a little dark. It you can get the idea of what it looks like.

Re: Yamaha Drive sway bar install
Very cool...your right I put heavy duty shocks on all my 4 pax builds and we do get complaints about the stiff ride. Drives tend to wonder at top end after being lifted so we also install wheel spacers to widen stance on a few of them which tends to help a bit. Thanks for sharing

Re: Yamaha Drive sway bar install
Where did you source the parts and could you give some part numbers. I was planning on looking for a way to fix our cart this fall.
