07 IQ Front End rebuild
Ok, got a new mcor and new speed sensor, cart is acting appropriately again lol.
Now I need to turn my attention to the front end. I know several of the bushings are gone, what should I be looking for in a kit(just bushings, sway bars, tie-rod ends, etc) and is there any info on tips/tricks/procedures for pulling everything apart. |

Re: 07 IQ Front End rebuild
Start with a front end bushing kit, for the control arms and front leaf spring. Get a Club Car kit from David at Revolution Golf Cars. If you get the China kits on Amazon the bushings will crumble in a month.

Re: 07 IQ Front End rebuild
I say this from previous experience. I would start by replacing the frontend with a A-Arm lift kit. Your choice either 3,4 or 6 inch. It will be cheaper than all of the individual parts you're going to have to buy. The frontend on a Club Car is a bad design.

A lift kit is $375. Bushings are around $40. If he doesn't want it lifted then bushings are the ticket and are easy to install. They will really tighten up the front end.

Re: 07 IQ Front End rebuild
After the bushings don't fix it next will come the kingpins. After that don't fix it then it will be the front spring etc, etc. The Club Car frontend is just a poor design. Replace it with a A-Arm lift kit. Problems over.

Re: 07 IQ Front End rebuild
I picked up a very clean, but well used, '02 DS yesterday and the front end is loose...suspension and steering. I plan on the lift kit for it, is there anything else that should be put on it to tighten it up? I know gearboxes on some cars are adjustable but am not familiar with the steering in a Club Car.

Bottom line rebushing the stock front end is cost effective for most owners. It isn't a cutting edge design, but it is certainly adequate for most of us. |

Re: 07 IQ Front End rebuild
And a very valid point. I hope the majority of us understood your thinking. I certainly did after rebushing mine and several others. I would like to see grease fittings on the stock front end and also many of the after market lift kits. But I'm old and have greased too many things that have never worn out unlike rubber bushings or lubricated for life pieces.
