Default Yamaha g22 Camber problems!

I'm working on a Yamaha G 22 6 seater ,the tops of the tires are leaning in, replaced shocks, and knuckle arms,when you jack up the front of the cart and let it down the alignment is perfect until you turn the steering wheel back-and-forth and it squats down until the shocks bottom out, is there another problem or did I buy Defective new shocks?

Shocks are there to dampen motion. They don't provide lift on their own unless they have springs on them as well. I would look into weak springs.

If you didn't use OEM shocks, that's going to be your issue. To make the big carts work correct, its takes the correct shock.

If the shocks are bottomed out they are the wrong !!!!! Too weak

Are the coils adjustable ??

Is it possible the shocks you got were for the "standard" G-22? The 6 place stretch has to weigh more. Also, if the toe is out far enough they could work their way out like that as you roll, don't know if just turning side to side while stationary would be enough to do it too - but it might.

Yeah It's a OEM strut assy, kinda wondered that also about it being to heavy but I've never ran into that problem when I stretch carts but I've never done a g22 , I don't know if they make heavy duty struts for the front tho.

Here is a link to a post on how I stiffened up the front springs on my G29 cart.
