Spindle Bushing Replacement Issues
2006 Club Car Villager-6 with slack in the passenger-side spindle/kingpin.
I purchased two sets of bushings and a new kingpin. The first set taught me not to use a hammer to drive them in because they will mushroom and not accept the king pin. On my second set, I soaked the bushings in ice & water and heated the passenger-side spindle with a torch before attempting to seat the bushings into place with a rubber mallet. It took some work but I finally got the kingpin into the spindle assembly and now it is very tight...too tight and much harder to turn than the driver-side which got new bushings before I bought the cart in January. Sooo, what is the trick to this job? Should I have them pressed in vs. using heat and a rubber mallet?? Good grief, I could understand for a car, but for a "golf cart"... |

The only place I have ever found to carry a reamer of the right size is Harbor Freight in their set. I have that set and it works well. |

Re: Spindle Bushing Replacement Issues
Step 10: Ream bushings to 19.05 to 19.10 millimeters (.750 to .752 inches) diameter. Reamer should be long enough to ream both bushing from one end.
