Lose the lean

Ronman · 05-08-2009, 01:27 AM

Like the title states, I want to lose my carts lean to the left. Im sure this is a common problem from its eight dedicated years at the muni course. I didnt notice it as much when I bought it last year, but really sticks out after I finished my lift today.

What is the prefered method to correcting this? Shocks? Springs? Both? I did a little searching and didnt find my answer. So any advice will help.

Its a 2000 electric Ezgo with Jakes 5" drop axle. Oh, and I still need to buy tires and wheels so Im hoping it wont cost an arm and a leg to fix this. (Sorry, just dreaming)Thanks

new springs, bro. put some HD ones in the rear, so you can add a seat

Ronman, I just put a lift and heavy duty spring from Jakes on my g-22 and am really impressed by the new stance. I didn't have any lean issues when no one was on it but the cart was so "spongy" and would lean when someone was sitting on it. Those new stiffer springs for the rear from Jakes really did the trick. I put a rear seat on too but even if you didn't they are worth the $100 for the set IMHO. Much less body roll when you turn fast on asphalt as well.

Replace the front springs or shim the driver side spring at the frame...

How is the ride? Not too rough is it? My dirt roads arent the smoothest.

Rear springs will do a world of good.

Looks like the rear springs have it. Next buy once I recoup from the tire/wheel purchase I made today.
