Rough ride ezgo
I recently added a bed to the rear of my 1987 ezgo and in an attempt to beef up my rear suspension, because of the bed, i added new gas charged shocks. I added two automotive shocks not golf cart shocks. Ever since adding the new shocks i have noticed a lot rougher ride. Are the normal shocks on the golf carts not gas charged shocks? Thanks for all your help

Re: Rough ride ezgo
The leaf springs provide the suspension and shocks merely dampen the bouncing. Look into HD leaf springs.

Re: Rough ride ezgo
Yurtle is correct. But to add to it, I think what you may be experiencing is a matter of "over shock". That is the shocks are designed to work with a vehicle from 3 to 4 times heavier than the cart. When you hit a bump and the spring reacts, the shock immediately limits the bouncing. Just what it's supposed to do. But it's doing it for a 3 or 4 thousand pound vehicle, resulting in very little shock/spring travel.

Re: Rough ride ezgo
Thanks for all the help. I will change out the rear shocks and put the regular ones back in it.

Re: Rough ride ezgo
New cart shocks, I hope. And don't forget Yurtle's comment. If you are going to install a "bed" it presumes you are going to haul things. You will need the support the hd springs will provide.
