Steering improvement, stop the wander

[Capt. Lenny]

These wedges are thicker in the front. The spring attachment is 3 bolt, 1 in the front, 2 in the rear. The front bolt goes through the wedge and the 2 bolts in the rear are on each side of the spring and wedge. Kind of hard to see in the picture since they're black. This cart is a 2003 and the springs have a downward curve (frown) to them and as near as I know they are originals. I would be willing to bet that the original owner never put air in the tires or water in the batteries let alone doing modifications. Not that it matters but the steering column is a 4 bolt with an axle mounted steering rack.

adrianp89, I'll be going out of town this week but if I have time when I return I'll make you a couple. I'll PM when I get back.

That would be awesome. I think even with my older cart this should work on the spring mount.

You need to take a measurement the way it sits right now so you can figure out what you need. I started out with 3 degrees from level and cut the wedges at 5 degrees (which was just a guess) and am now at 8 total degrees and it feels pretty good. I don't think I'll add any more. I don't have an alignment machine so this was just an experiment at best. First thing you want to do is eliminate as much slop out of the steering wheel and associated joints as possible.
