Suspension Issues resulting in bad camber
I purchased this cart with a Rhox spindle lift and the camber is horrible. Is this something that can be adjusted, or should I bite the bullet for a new lift and tires? As you can see, it is eating the tires up on the inside. I was told that CC's don't react well to spindle lifts and I should have an A-Arm lift. Funny thing is, when I lift up the front end, it goes back to normal. Once I drive down the road, back to spread eagle.
Sorry for the lame question, I'm new at the cart thing. Brad |

Not sure if that can be adjusted. If I were you, I'd get an A arm lift and be done with it. Especially if you are going to be off road at all.

Re: Suspension Issues resulting in bad camber
Worn springs, worn bushings or most likely a combination of the two will cause exactly what you've got.
You say that it goes to "normal" when you lift it up? If the toe is out that far it will also spread the tires like that. Just some things to look at before you give up and spend the money on another lift. |

Re: Suspension Issues resulting in bad camber
Jakes make a camber Adjustment King Pin that allows you to adjust the camber. Is that a 6" lift?

And yes, it looks right when you jack it up because there is no load on the suspension and you are wayyyyy negative and that furthermore demonstrates the camber is far out of adjustment as they should have went positive when you raised it. I hope it did not take a really HARD jar and you also have a bent spindle, but you will have to loosen it all up and readjust to find out. |

Re: Suspension Issues resulting in bad camber
I believe it's a 6" lift. I played with the tow this afternoon and when I think I got it, I din't have it.
I pulled tow way in, to where when loaded (sitting on ground) it looked better. At that point when I would lift it up, to positive camber. Take it for a drive, seems quieter and running pretty good. I stopped to check steering, took a hard left, and the right front wheel didn't want to correct back to straight. I would have to go in reverse to straight the right tire out. Which leads me to think, there is another problem. After parking and re-evaluating still way negative on the camber. If anyone has experience this, feedback would be awesome. Last resort is taking her to the shop, and we getting close. Thanks for the help, y'all! |

Re: Suspension Issues resulting in bad camber
Save yourself a lot of headaches and put a double A-Arm lift kit on it. Spindle lifts are notorious for wearing out bushings. You can replace the bushings, but there's a good chance you're not going to get ideal camber even after you do. It'll make it better, but it's never going to drive as good as a car with a double a-arm kit.

Re: Suspension Issues resulting in bad camber
Like TD71 and Kash said above, replace it. You have a damaged spindle as what you describe is fundamentally unique to a bad part. I very much dislike spindle lifts and feel they take away from the carts suspension.
