Re: 2013 Precedent
Unless the leaf spring can stretch or the bushings can compress, the angle of the shackle does not matter as the length between the mounting points would have to increase for the shackle to flip to a horizontal position.
If the axle twists it would only cause the leaf to get shorter since the front mounting is fixed. The shackles and the part numbers are different for those two designs, but I don't know if the leaf lengths are different. I still have the original leafs from my 2010 Precedent that I upgraded the leafs, It has the old design (longer shackles) from your first post. I will measure the distance between the center of the "eyes" and post it when I get home. Measure the length of the OEM ones You removed (new shackle design) and post it so we can compare the lengths. Aside from David (RevolutionGolfCars.com) confirming the leafs should be the same length, I think this may help. Edit: It appears folks in Charlotte think the same way (Just saw Aflyer post) Last edited by Sergio; 03-29-2017 at 09:10 AM.. Reason: Slow typing this morning |

Re: 2013 Precedent
Would it be possible that the bushings are clamped too tight? (steel tube too short either in the leaf or frame) wrong bushings? That would explain gradual flattening with no return until raised and lowered again.

Re: 2013 Precedent
What are the width of the new vs old springs, looks considerably wider and your bushings are blown out 180°from the opposite side. Might be pinching the leaf and binding.

Re: 2013 Precedent
This is my 2012 cart that I raised 6" and installed HD rear springs. As you can see, I have the shackles that you were told that you should have on your cart.

Re: 2013 Precedent
I just checked the length of the OEM spring from my 2014 Precedent, I got the same length that Sergio did. 29 1/4.

Re: 2013 Precedent
it is 30 1/8 from eye to eye. Just thinking, if i reinstall the shocks, will that help that shackle from falling? the video i watched said to take the shocks off.
