2016 RXV Passenger Side Front Wheel Point Out

[Indy Golfer]

It looks like my passenger side front wheel is toed out a little, is there a way to adjust this or do I need to take it somewhere for an alignment?

Do you have a copy of the 2016 RXV Service Manual? Page 74 of the manual covers how to adjust wheel alignment. It is not difficult and id done by loosening the tie rod jam nut and adjusting.

I have typically put a chalk mark or masking tape with a sharpie mark on the front of each tire and then measure the distance between them. Roll the cart 1/2 tire rotation until the marks are at the rear of the tire and measure again to determine toe in/out.

I downloaded my manual online but I can't remember where.

The cart did not come with a manual, didn't even think of that, I will search for it online

Thanks for the great idea!

Same method as above.
Center steering wheel,I use a club”old school theft protection” to hold steering wheel straight. This step will keep you from having to realign steering wheel once done
Adjust tie rods so each wheel point “in” 1/8” at front for a total of 1/4”less distance when measuring distance of front wheels to each other (I measure off inside of rim) then when measuring back of front tires distance to each other.
Some align to 1/8” toe in but I found 1/4” toe in makes for more stable cart. More so if it has oversized tires.

Toe in adds stability when turning.
Toe “out” adds responsiveness , twitchyness to steering when driving. Not good thing in carts😊
