There is a very good chance that the lift kit you bought was made in china. The original lift was made here in the U.S.A, purchased by that company and promptly sent overseas to be copied by the cheapest bidder. There is your difference right there and I'm sure thats why your U-Bolt broke in the first place. Have fun!




P.S. While your at it you might consider changing the rest of the bolts.

2 u-bolts shouldn't run ya' more than 7-8 bucks. That's for the pair.
Just remember, you'll probably have that much in shipping, depending on your location. Hope this helps.

I would be happy to help if you still need it. The ubolts are $4.50 ea plus shipping from Georgia. We all like to save a buck but consider this. Maybe save your money by buying cheaper fuzzy dice or other options. Something as important as HOLDING THE AXLE TO THE CART might not be the best place to be cheap. $10 won't even buy a stitch at the ER.
By the way you can spend $1000 at Autozone and not one dime gets donated to keep this site here. All the sponsors here are just trying to make a living and NONE of them are out to rape anyone.

Very well said! Why I don't shop wally world and why I support our sponsors whenever I can. If everyone did we wouldn't be in the economical mess we're in and would have products that lasted. Yes, I have a Yamaha, but it's an old one!

AMEN...

Also,
Yamaha golf carts are built in Ga. Not sure how many components come from overseas.
All of the O.E's use low cost sourcing ( Not made here ).

I called the foremention sponsor 3 times,no call back. Emailed once a day since saturday,no call back. This is why i go to the big stores to get stuff like this. I always find the so called specialty stores act like they are God and you have to grovel to them for service.

nurserob,
I think we all would like to know who the forementioned sponsor is,including that sponsor. I am certain that it has to be a misunderstanding... I am also certain that none of the sponsors think they are GOD... All the ones I personally know, are very down to earth folks trying like everyone else to make an honest living... That is why they support and follow this forum.
If you look around the forum, you will see it's more of a passion to all here, including the sponsors than making a sale. Good Luck...
