Boot on steering gear
Hi guys,
Just got a 1993 CLub Car DS - electric. I noticed that the drivers side rubber boot on the steering gear is ripped. I understand that I can replace the boot but was wondering if I should replace the entire steering gear. The steering seems fine but then again this is my first cart. I do notice that the steering wheel is out of alignment with the front wheels. So what do you guy think - replace to be safe or if it ain't broke ....? |

Re: Boot on steering gear
If you can replace the boot then I would do that.
As far as aligning the steering wheel, it is really easy. 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 (Don't accidentally grab 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. |

Re: Boot on steering gear
I have a 91 and am glad to see someone else on here has the same cart as me. I purchased mine completely disassembled and have no idea what I'm doing. I am going to go through and order every piece of rubber that is on there and replace it

I suppose if you're always using the cart in a clean environment a person could go a very long ways before $$$ damage occurred. That would have to be your call. |
