Cars don't use coilovers? Every MacPherson strut front suspension uses coilovers, every car uses MacPherson strut front suspension

Expo, Thought about adding the grease zerks but really don't think they are needed??? I Just put a good coat of grease on Everything.

That really doesn't help the OP since MacPherson struts aren't going to cross reference for this application.

Got the kingpins and bushings replaced.
Made a huge difference.
Packed steering box with grease adjusted it (Took about 1/2 turn). Dropped the top shock mount down 5/8", everything looks great and changed the handling to Much Better.
Hope all have a great week.
Going to get cold and nasty here in Ft. Worth again. Oh well it is mid January.

Good news Docpr. Kingpin bushings is something I think my cart could use, but it isn't happening until the weather is certain to stay above freezing for a while. In the meantime the cart barely gets fired up so a little steering play is no big deal.

Dropping the shock mount corrected the camber issue I was having.
Shocks are ok. Still have good rebound and compression.
