Re: EZGO RXV alignment problem (too much toe in!)
Great to know on earlier models. I haven't worked on one earlier than 2012. Glad you had a good outcome.
Here is something I found out about toe-in on carts that run above 30mph. I noticed that the cart was quite squirrely when going around a curve at speed. Auto speed limit is 30 for an idea of this curve radius. I changed the toe in to between straight and 1/8" toe out and the cart is like on rails. If yours gets like that on big curves at speed, give it a try. |

Re: EZGO RXV alignment problem (too much toe in!)
Pingeye interesting outcome with going from toe in to toe out.
typically toe out will make steering darty when turning wheels/ toe in[ front of tires pointing towards each other when straight} makes steering more stable. May it be possible you may have have other worn front end parts that have excessive play/ slop in them that is being compensated being toed out? Usually a sign of worn tie rod ends. Unless front end geometry was changed via lift kit,tie rod angle ect. to cause a change in akerman (amount inside wheel turns compared to outside wheel during a turn so inside wheel turns slightly more then outside wheel during a turn) toe in should make steering more stable.

Re: EZGO RXV alignment problem (too much toe in!)
This brings up a good question for me - i just recently lifted my 08 RXV and put 23" tires on it (I posted about this yesterday) and now I have toe in by about 1" - no more threads to adjust on either tie rod. I wonder if the "stock" shock which I'm still using it the culprit? I have owned my cart for about 10 years and original 12" low profile tires had a little wear but I can see it rubbing the new 23" tires. I also noticed the driver tire turns more than the passenger tire while turning right in both reverse or forward and I do not understand why that's happening.. May be hard to tell but here is a picture of it I took today after trying to see if there was an adjustment on the steering box itself and trying realign it.
