camber on new tires

[TexPI]

I just replaced the tires and wheels on my electric 1996 Club Car DS and maybe because the new tires are quite different, but I noticed that there is a pretty prominent negative camber to the front wheels.

We're new to the golf cart world and we were wondering if there is there any rule of thumb for camber and toe in/out for carts. If so, where can I find help on getting it right?

Appreciate any guidance ya'all can offer.

This is for a Precedent, but the adjustments are made the same way on a DS.

Welcome TexPI!
The video Kash posted explains it well.

The rule of thumb for camber and toe adjustments is don't do it like this guy!

You will find that we enjoy humor and pics around here. It's all about helping, sharing and having some fun with it all.

Introduce yourself in the introduction section when you get time.
Also post some pics of that fast ride also, we like pics!

I'm pretty sure that is a furrow machine and was modified to expedite the summer gardening.....

I just put 4 in lift lift & trying to get my alignment right also! So I finally got front of front tire measurement a hair shorter than back of front tire ��! Problem is that steering wheel is not straight and I'm terrified to make an adjustment on tie rod ends bc took me forever to get correct measurements! I'm not positive it was straight before but would love it to be now. Any help would be great! 2 thumbs up to Steve & Judy @ allsports lifts!

Lol! Your're fine. Just jack it up, put stands under it, crawl underneath the passenger side and look up and on the assembly and you will see the adjustment. Break the lock nut loose and adjust the threaded shaft (This is a single shaft from the steering, not the tie rod end!). You may to do it a couple of times till you drive it and get the wheel right where you want it.

There are videos on youtube if you are concerned.

Is it normal to have a vibration with the more aggressive tires? I know they will be louder but just making sure no alignment issue with the vibration. Thanks for all the advice new to the lifted golf cart community!

Yes, because of the more aggressive knobbies it will cause that.

And unlike car tires, these are not perfectly manufactured as they are not designed for interstate driving or high speeds (unless on scottyb's) so they are not completely true. Usually they ease up a little after a few hours of driving if there were any storage rolls on them (flat areas from sitting)
