The other day me an my friend were out cartin like always an were driving on a side walk along a railling that is realy close but do able.. any way my pal got to close to the railing an totaly slamed the right tire into one of the posts side causing the frount side to take a serious bend inward.. this has happend before ( in the same spot) but this one takes the cake the last time it happend it was fixed with a new spearing box but now the frount has a good bend inward

the fix able part of it is if i got a tourch an heated it up an got a power jack would it pull it back straight? ( enough) or should i save up an get a totaly new frount member hope fully the pics can better explain what it is im going to try an do..

idk any ideas shoot em on down the EZ GOER NEED TO BE BACK IN COMISH BY THURSDAY EVERY IDEA IS WELCOME

Get a new front member. You can try to straighten it but you may find you end up with uneven tire wear issues unless you get it perfect. Every golf cart shop should have a used one lying out back!

The front axle lists for $110 aftermarket. Probably a little more OEM?

Your going to need a new steering section as well, I see the mounts are broken off.
