Steering question?
I posted this in LIFTED CARTS and didn't get a response yet.... thought I'd check here.
I have an '03 EZGO with an 18hp. Vanguard..... scruffy lookin', but pretty hard working--- scoots pretty good. Recently I installed a 6" dropped spindle kit. Looks good, drives good BUT the turning radius is LOTS bigger. I don't see where the steering binds on anything. Looks like the steering rack just runs out of travel. Is there an easy fix to help this? OR just live with it.......... thanks in advance. ......... didn't lift the rear, when I installed the Vanguard I had to put the rear axel UNDER the spring and the cart sits level. |

Re: Steering question?
Is it by chance turning sharper one way over the other, and also what kind of lift did you use?

Re: Steering question?
maybe I'll unhook the rack and see if it travels farther........ and if it does I'll look for where it's binding. thanks

Re: Steering question?
Any lift that gives you a wider stance will add to your turning radius ....

Re: Steering question?
Mark, it does turn a bit more sharply to the right than to the left. The brand on the kit is Red Hawk.

Re: Steering question?
Scottyb is correct about that, have not used that brand, it could be that everything is set ok and this is the change with the lift.
