Substantial lean to drivers side
Hello All! I have a new problem that I need some help with. It seems that my cart has developed a substantial lean to the drivers side (see pic). The tires all have the correct pressure. I have added a 7th battery that sits under the seat on the drivers side. I have already put dual action rear leaf springs on the back. Any idea on how to fix this? I was thinking that I might possibly need new front leaf springs or shocks? Do you think that this is caused by the weight of the 7th battery?

Re: Substantial lean to drivers side
I too run a 7th battery under the drivers side and get the same results.
I have swapped the leaf from one side to the other with no change. I also have contemplated moving the electronics just to put the battery on the passenger side. I am just too lazy at the moment Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Re: Substantial lean to drivers side
I am thinking about replacing the front leaf springs to see if it helps. Don't know whether I should use 2 regular springs, 2 HD springs or maybe a HD spring on the drivers side and a regular one on the passenger side. Any opinions or experience?

Re: Substantial lean to drivers side
You've added 60-70lbs to the drivers side which is probably causing the lean. You could try un-hooking the battery and move it to the bag well and see how it sits. The last cart we just bought has a rear seat and the springs have flattened out after looking they are only 3 leaf so I think I may need to switch to heavy duty.
And could you share some more info on your trunk, I've been trying to find something like that for mine. |

Re: Substantial lean to drivers side
Anymore details on the trunk would be great. I would like to do something like that to mine. Who did you get the abs from?

Re: Substantial lean to drivers side
Thanks, some more picks would be good too. I saw one at a campground we were at last year on a TXT that from a distance looked like it was made for it but I haven't been able to find one anywhere except for a RXV and it about 250.00

Re: Substantial lean to drivers side
Just take the rear leafs out on the drivers side and give them a little more arch in a press. If you don't have one, just take them to your local spring shop, they can do it in under 2 minutes.
