Front Leaf Springs
We recently noticed that our front end was vibrating when turning. We looked underneath and noticed that the front leaf spring was cracked on the driver side (Image one). We also saw that the bushing on the passenger side was completely squished out from between the two springs (image two). (sorry if that verbiage isn't correct)
After doing a quick search, all the leaf springs I saw were for the rear and they do not look like what we have. The cart is a lifted 2018 Stretched Club Car Onward. Any guidance on where to look for these parts? I feel like after 2 years, this is a significant break and seems premature. Am I incorrect? It's only myself, my husband and our 2 kids who are under 10 and very little. We drive on golf cart paths 99% of the time. If we aren't on the cart path, we are on one dirt road that other vehicles also drive on |

Re: Front Leaf Springs
The bushing is obviously worn out for sure. And as for the cracked spring, are you sure the actual spring is cracked or is that just the powdercoating cracking off of the spring? I can tell you where to source both of these items, just wanna figure out exactly what is going on first.

Re: Front Leaf Springs
Any idea what brand the lift kit is? The cheapo kits don't last long.
Also looks like someone has been chasing squeaks and creaks spraying white grease all over everything. There are at least a dozen other bushings in that suspension that will be just as worn out by now. I'd replace that whole lift kit with a better quality kit before putting the effort into replacing the springs and all the bushings. |

Re: Front Leaf Springs
Is the cart lifted from the factory or did you install the lift kit on it?

The lift kit came on the cart, but I wouldn't blink twice if someone told me they used an inferior lift kit. |

Re: Front Leaf Springs
You need to find out if the dealership installed the lift kit, or if it's a factory installed kit. If it's a factory installed kit, it's an All-Sports kit and it's top quality. If the dealer did it, it could be anything. Can you post some pictures of the front suspension? I can identify it for you if I have some good pictures.
