Gangsta Lean

[Buggity]

My 09' RXV has the common drivers side lean, it's not terrible. But, I can't stand for cart not to sit level. What's the easiest solution?? I plan to install a 6" Jakes spindle lift, and if any other parts are needed to remedy the problem I wanted to order at the the same time. Thanks.

Ugrade to heavy duty springs front and rear then you won't be running so "lean".

I do plan to swap to the heavy duty springs in the rear. But not sure about front end.

For now, you can swap the springs from side to side. Whenever I get a cart that has DSS (Driver Side Sag), I will move the springs unless it is really bad I swap them out, or have them re arched.

You need to upgrade the front as well or you will continue to lean. The fronts genarally are very weak to begin with. If your going to have a lift and be beating the snot out a normally mundane golf cart then spend the extra cash and replace the fronts as well IMHO.

I should have specified, YES swap springs from side to side on both the front and the rear.

The RXV only has leaf springs on the rear. It has what I guess is a strut on the front? Im not sure if these are side specific or not? Anybody know, thanks.

Ahh! Good point. Didn't realize it was an RXV. I should pay more attention. Carry on!

Can't switch the front shocks from side to side. They are molded into the a-arms and have to be ordered for the appropriate side. Hopefully it is an issue with the rear springs. The front are also expensive as they are not standard shocks. I priced once and I believe they were around $140 for each shock but I might be off by a little, but I know they were over the $120 price each.

I did some further investigation today. I believe the driver side rear spring is bent, it appears to be anyway. I will replace with new heavy duty springs, I think this will fix the problem.
