Default Adjusted toe and now steering is very weird

Hi. The right front wheel was toed-out a bit and I decided to adjust it to slightly toe-in. The left front was slightly toed-out so I slightly adjusted it to toe-in as well. The steering was tight before I’m guessing because the right front was toed-out a bit. After these adjustments, the steering feels like it has a lot of play and the front wobbles/shimmies when I get up to speed. What could be the problem? Before adjusting, everything was fine except for the steering being a little tight. Thanks for the help. Need to get fixed before trick or treating Saturday.

Cart should be adjusted toe out just a bit, not toe in.

Edit: I've been corrected by Sergio, toe-out was just for lifted. Carry on, nothing to see here.

As far as I know all club car service manuals recommend 1/8 - 1/4 Tow in.

That can vary if you have a lift kit as the loaded/unloaded geometry is different depending on the design of the kit.

If it continues, try "0" front to back. No tow-in or out. I have had some need that for the steering, but they never shimmied unless there was a bad bushing or something loose.

You didn't mention what tire pressure you're running. Tire pressure can cause different handling, each tire has it's own characteristics, you have to try different pressures to find what works best.
