Default Cart wobbles/shimmys - Bent Axle???

I have a 2008 RXV (6 seater). I bought this last Fall and it had a wobble/shimmy but the tires were in bad shape.

I replaced tires, replaced rear springs with heavier duty springs and have aligned the tires. While the shimmy is better at 5-10 mph range the car still has a side to side wobble and I'm baffled why.

Friend of mine said it could be a bent axle. How would I check this.

I have ridden beside the cart at various speeds and the tires look fine.

Thanks for any ideas.

Put on jack stands and use a straight edge of some sort and rotate each tire and look for out of round or wobble.

Thanks yurtle.
I'll try that. If it's the axle, probably not too difficult to replace.
