Default 1995 Club Car DS frame issue I think?

So I just replace both rear springs because the old ones paid there dues more than once lol. After I replaced them I took some measurements and the drivers side is 1/2" lower than the passenger side I looked all over the cart and I don't see any broken welds and nothing seems to be bent. I know it's only 1/2" but when I carry passengers I am real close to rubbing just on the drivers side. I am stumped and looking for help

Thanks
Adam

It might be a lot of work on a DS but take a look at flipping the front spring around so the left side is on the right side. That might level her up some

All of my measurement have been in the back. How much affect will the front spring have on the back? I am willing to try

Thanks

Replacing springs can be a tedious job.to make it worth the while take your old springs that you are removing and cut the eyes off the ends or remove about 2 to 3 inches off the end of each spring .some have rivets or bump's in the spring center for alignment. drill or remove the rivet out so you can bolt the old spring to the bottom of the new spring. Clean them up paint or just put them back in the machine. You now have a heavy duty leaf spring in your cart with just a little labor.

Update:
I took the the new springs off and switched sides.
Cut the old springs and put the on the bottom. Thanks rileymon
I also put 2 5/8 aluminum blocks on top of front springs, was not easy considering I only had a drill and die grinder, and started with 2 blocks 7" x 4".
My cart now sits level which I don't understand. It was obviously a spring issue but you would think since I switched sides it would have been lower on the opposite side unless the front spring was the issue and raising it solved the problem. I am very happy it is fixed.

Thanks
Adam
