ie; Thanks jax...so the txt electric needs 2 kinds of springs? I wonder why the guy who built it didn't replace everything. He said he did. Argh live and learn!

The TXT HD springs are $96 for the kit (part # SPN-2004), including new bushings and spacers. I found the front HD springs on closeout, and DIY matched the price for me. You need 2 of those.

Removal of the fronts took a small jack, jackstands, and a two wrenches. 12 bolts and nuts easily accessible. Rears took the same, but just two bolts per side. You will need a lot of muscle, or an impact wrench!

I'll take some pictures of the underside tomorrow in the daylight. Thank you everyone for your help and your 2 cents. I thought it was too good to be true. Sure was a cute little thing for $3,000. I either have to sell it as is or put more money into it. Dang...has a real nice stereo in it too. )-: Can anyone tell me where the delete button is when editing. Still getting to know my way around this forum and haven't found it yet.

You're talking about the backend picture? Or the front? It's lower on both ends and I couldn't tell ya what a shock mount looks like. Are those on all 4 wheels? Lol

There will be 6 bolts and nuts on each side in the rear to remove the springs. 4 Holding the springs to the axle. And 2 holding the springs to the frame

Again, this is merely cosmetic. If you aren't bottoming out, just live with it.

The pic of the front of the cart. The two flat steel brackets that are welded to the front of the axle. The drive side is welded lower than the one on the passenger side. I don't think the factory did that. But that is just your shock mount, it would have nothing to do with the cart leaning

This little red car stands out like the Flintstones in my neighborhood. I really don't want to be running around in it lopsided:) Know what I mean? Call it cosmetic or whatever but it's my first cart. Kinda like riding in a new BMW Roadster at a tilt. I don't think I could live with that Yurtle. I don't think you would either. JMO, smiles.

Never mind on the pic of the spindles. I made the pic larger and they look ok

So, it might just be the plastic body was riveted poorly? Is that fixable?

Here's shots between the left side and the right of the leaf springs? There's a bit of a difference in the measurements. If these are the leaf springs, do I need new ones or can they be adjusted?
