Bottoming Out even after spring replacement - HELP
I have a 2012 RXV with a rear seat. I was running the original factory springs and just recently started to bottom out over small bumps. I carry a bunch of baseball/soccer equipment so I figured they were shot. I ordered the "heavy duty" springs from a reputable cart parts site but after installing them I'm still bottoming out. Yesterday it was me in the front seat (210 lbs) and my 2 boys in the back (55 lbs each) and I was bottoming out constantly. The site doesn't have any other alternatives for a heavier duty spring, does anyone have a suggestion or has someone else had the problem and been able to remedy it? Thanks in advance

Here are some pics I took this morning w/ no load on the cart. Picture is a little deceiving, I think there's only 2 inches of available travel.

Re: Bottoming Out even after spring replacement - HELP
First, I don't know anything about EZGOs and not much more about springs but I think the angle of the shackles should be more towards the vertical. If that's true then-
A) the spring is too long B) the spring is arched wrong C) the spring was tempered wrong If you're happy with the ride (other than the bottoming out), the quick and dirty fix would be longer shackles. Is the cart level now? . |
