If the main streets have been re-paved they are probably crowned higher. Just a guess.

Crowned streets cause this. Carts are really not designed for high speeds. You can check the tow in and make sure it's correct but it is probably just the shape of the road you are riding on.

Agree, most streets are crowned higher depending on the drainage. Cold also be a plain alignment problem...

Is the lift brand new or did you just get new wheels and tires? If the lift is new I would verify the alignment is good. The alignment could be off a little that you don't notice it on a flat road, but shows up on a crowned road.

Alignment would be my guess.
