Re: Tire tread question
Heres another picture at an angle. I think I see what you guys mean about the spring ...that it essentially looks flat. Both sides appear to look the same though. Regardless perhaps I should just go auead and upgrade to heavy duty leaf springs? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Re: Tire tread question
The Precedent leaf springs have a flat profile.
I installed the medium duty spring (3 leafs) on my Precedent to compensate for the extra weight of the rear seat and it works great for me. For the wear to be on a single rear tire it almost needs to be some kind of rubbing on the underside of the body when you have a load on the back seat. Are the gaps around the tire and fender the same on both sides of the cart? |

Re: Tire tread question
That wheel is turned to the right, thus the inside is dragging kind of side ways. My thinking is the lift block my not be allowing the wheel to set straight.

Re: Tire tread question
That is what I think also
Check that the lift block is the same way on both sides Measure from the front connecting pin on the leaf spring to the centering pin in the leaf spring, be sure both sides are EXACTLY the same...........Someone may have turned the spring backwards on you ( I am not sure if they have a front and rear ) if they are different this will cause one tire to drag behind ! Also, be sure the bolts that secure the lift block to the cart has the same amount of threads showing an all bolts, that uneveness can cause the same effect............ Let us know what you find, and what you done to resolve this problem Dale D |

Re: Tire tread question
The springs are not backwards. Both measure up the same.
There is, however, a little less visible threading on the ubolt ends on the side with the worn down tire. So that sounds like the lift block is looser on that side perhaps? |

Re: Tire tread question
I am no expert, but, my thinking is that the Lift Block may be keeping the rear axle back just a bit further then the other side and the result would be that the tire will wear on the inside much faster then the other side............
I have seen the lift blocks tilted and caused brakes to lock up and th cause the cart to become unstable Dale D |

Re: Tire tread question
You're right. I was mistaken.. it is worn down on the other tire as well but it is just more visible on the right. We only have had a heavy load a little before halloween. Perhaps this entirely happened then.
