1988 DS steering “loose”
Hi- I have a 1988 CC DS I rebuilt with a 400 amp Alltrax, new batteries, cables, and a lift.
The steering wheel has some “play” in it- and it was like that when I got it. I can turn the wheel almost ¼ turn before the wheels start to steer. This makes it quite inconvenient to drive. Does anyone have an idea as to what’s causing this, and how it can be fixed? I don’t want it to get worse over time either... Thank you! Luke Club Car DS Driver’s Club #59  |

Re: 1988 DS steering “loose”
I can’t seem to find that screw- my steering mechanism looks different than yours. I wonder if it has been modified?

Re: 1988 DS steering “loose”
So I should loosen the very large nut around it and then tighten the small center nut?
