Re: front end alignment
my g14 was similar. i just chose the hole to make the wheels look \ / as little a poss and went with it. in my case it was the top hole. if i went down a hole they looked / \ and i did not like that. if you put them \ / then when weight is on them they will line up and look more like normal. hope this helps ken

Re: front end alignment
You can send your shocks to Plowmans, and he can shim them or, you can do what I did.
These are "split shaft couplers" that you get from an electric motor supply, or bearing, belt,and chain supply store. Mine were 1 1/4" ID. These were $4.00 a piece! Good luck, Mike |

Re: front end alignment
The tires should be | | when people are on the cart and slightly \ / with nobody on it...and / \ when you hit a big bump/dip or have more than normal weight on it.

Re: front end alignment
Well, the bump steer on my cart isn't really right so all I can do is lean well to go through the corners. Really generally it is \ / Until I get going.

Re: front end alignment
Logger, the shims are preloading the springs, so when the weight of the car is on the front sus. the springs are compressed more and eliminate most of the sag.
Hope you can understand!? Mike |

Re: front end alignment
Freeze, check the toe in, very important. 1/8" to 1/4". 1/8" is probably best!
And is your car lifted? |
