Lifted Cart Swaying

[tplasek]

That should get you to +2 degrees. It should be a noticeable improvement. You can try temporarily wedging some bolts sideways between the leaf spring and the axle like I did. This should give a preview of how it will drive with +2 degrees of caster. Just going from negative to positive camber should make a big difference.

Ok thanks

Have to say thank you this solved the problem and made a huge difference! We ended up finding a place that made us 8 degree shims worked great.

Thanks again!

Something else you can do to lock that sway down, is to separate your air shocks.
Install a valve in the air line so that the air can't just move side to side. When they're separated, they work more like independent springs and will resist roll.

Far from it but I am learning a lot about these carts.

Thats a good idea I may need to look into that.

My *plans* are to have the valve accessible from the driver position, so I can "unlock" when terrain dictates the need for more flexibility. I'm sure my cart's setup has a lot more to gain, since the air shocks are the sole means of support on the rear.

I've been unable to locally find "official" fittings for that air line; but I have some brass compression fittings that show promise. I'm pitching the brass ferrule that comes with the fitting and substituting "O" rings.
