Default G29 front tires "toed" in

I have a 2007 G29 and the front tires are toed in and wearing bad. However, I rotate them once or twice a year. This is a standard cart with no lift but mag wheels.

Is there anything that I can do to level out the front end?

Toe & "level" are two different things. Which do you have?

Tires are "toed" in and wearing on the outside. My G19 wasn't near this bad

Toe setting is a setting on a different axis than camber. Your issue is Camber, not toe. Camber is not adjustable on a drive.

cgtech is correct about the camber there is no adjustment, however if it is toed in to much it will wear the outside of the tire, had that issue on my G29. Adjust the toe so that you have between 1/8" and 1/4" of toe in and the tires should wear more evenly.

Another idea here: it may be possible that worn suspension bushings may be the cause of excessive camber. I have seen it happen first hand on a Club Car, but Yamaha may be different. Just a thought. - RAY

I had the same problem with positive camber on my 09 drive, I bought take off suspension from a local dealer, It is now perfect, I read somewhere here that some were welded wrong?
It was so bad i couldn't stand to look at it, The dealer charged me $50 for everything

Ill assume you don't have toe plates, so a tape measure is what you will need.


Measure from the front and middle of both tires-measure the back and middle of both tires and compare the measurement. Make adjustment so it is straight up to 1/8 toe in. Use both adjustments to make the adjustment in even increments.
