suspension questions
i have what i beleive is a spindle lift kit.. the problem i am having is the driver side wheel is making alot of squeeking noise. so i jack the cart up and the tire wobbles like crazy because of the spindle.. i bought this cart as is so i dont know much about it or the lift .. but it wobbles around where the arrows are
not sure if its from wear and tear or is it a crappy design .. and what should i do to fix this ? |

Re: suspension questions
Yikes! Without more pic's of this "lift" can't really say what is going on, but your king pin bushings are GONE and probably egg shaped the holes for the bushings in the lower controll arms. If you can show more overall pic's of the fabbed lift. Might be better to yard this out and install a Jakes kit, you'll get new lower control arms with his kit. Keep us posted. Dave

Re: suspension questions
Couldn't agree more with Dave about the pin bushings. That is one strange looking lift kit, usually the kingpin goes into the control arm, but that's sure not a control arm in that pic. Anyway, if the holes are egged in the "mating part" it is junk. Sometimes, if it hasn't been driven much since the bushings went bad, new bushings and pins will usually tighten it right up.

Re: suspension questions
What kind of cart do you have?
From the looks of the double roll pin the spindle it kinda looks stock but the heavy rust pitting on the rest of the parts and the quality of the weld bead leads me to think homebuilt for the rest of it. More pics will help. |

Re: suspension questions
I agree with Dave also I replaced the king pins on both of my G1's and the front end straightened right out. Easy fix if it dont have grease zerks make sure put smear some grease in the holes before putting in new pins.
